Does anyone know of a good website that goes through how to read an ECG? I just want the basic info on knowing what type of abnormality I'm looking at. Visuals would be great. I searched but havn't come across anything really helpfull. I don't need something overly complicated. I'm not an ICU nurse that needs to know the ins and outs of all the deviations, I just wanna be able to look at a reading and have a general idea of what I'm looking at.
