ECG Blog #185 — Ps, Qs, 3R Approach to Rhythms

 

The KEY to interpreting cardiac arrhythmias — is to use a Systematic Approach, as emphasized in today's Audio Pearl. It doesn't matter if you use my system — or some other system you were taught, as long as each time you interpret an arrhythmia, you use the same system you have adapted.

  • My ECG Media Pearl (#3) — that appears below, concisely (in 3 minutes) reviews my approach — which I summarize in Figure-1.

  • My ECG Video #10 reviews the basics of the Ps, Qs & 3R Approach in more detail (28 minutes). As with all my ECG Videos — if you click on SHOW MORE (under the video, on the YouTube page) — you'll see a detailed linked Contents that allows rapid access to any specific part of the video that interests you.
  • Section 2.0 (62 pages) from my ECG-2014 Pocket Brain book reviews the basics of ECG Arrhythmia Interpretation (This is a free download).





ECG Media PEARL #3 (3:00 minutes Audio): — reviews my systematic approach to arrhythmia interpretation, as summarized by the saying — "Watch your Ps, Qs & 3Rs".

=================================

NOTE: Outlined below are the 5 elements in the Ps, Qs & 3R Approach:
