The ECG in 20 Seconds Method
Oct 31, 2026What is special about this method, is that it allows us to learn a basic algorithm, that looks for the most important ECG findings. You won’t pick up everything with this, but you will pick up those important ECG changes that will have the highest yield for your patient, like the sneaky ischaemia, differentiating a lethal from non-lethal arrhythmia. It gives you the confidence to read ECG’s.
Why did I call it ‘ECG in 20 Seconds’? Because it only takes 20 seconds to pick up the abnormalities in the algorithm. You can then sit down and spend a few minutes sorting them.
