What is ECG Wave-Maven?
Proficiency in electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation is an
essential skill for medical students, housestaff, and
clinicians. However, medical school and postgraduate resources
to develop and upgrade the necessary high level of "ECG
literacy" are severely limited. Further, current textbook and
classroom instructional materials do not adequately integrate
ECG interpretation into specific contexts where waveform
findings must be correlated with other clinical data. We have
begun to address the limitations in traditional approaches to
ECG pedagogy by creating the infrastructure for a unique web-based tutorial.
