What you'll learn

ECG is one of the most used diagnostic tools. It is often the first diagnostic test performed for detecting heart abnormalities and considered a gold standard investigation. It mainly involves variations in various segments of a healthy heartbeat during any pathology like myocardial infarction, chest pain, heart failure, etc. Of these segments, ST-segment variation is considered as a critical tool for diagnosing myocardial infarction or ischemia. read more »»

There may be either ST elevation or depression during and between ventricular depolarization or repolarization. ST-segment variations can be complicated in a few conditions and confused with other conditions leading to the use of wrong treatment protocols. This course describes the ECG variations, the importance of ST-elevation or depression, specific rules given by Dr. Jerry Jones for easy detection and diagnosis of the ST segment.

Dr. Jones is currently the CEO of Medicus of Houston, a continuing medical education company, and its chief instructor in advanced electrocardiography. He has designed and structured some of the rules for understanding ST segments.
