Welcome to Normal, Artifacts, and Miscellaneous! In this section, we will cover normal and normal variant ECGs, artifacts, electrode placement errors, and various important QRS-ST-T findings. While many of the diagnoses in this section become secondary findings, they are importnat in making an accurate, complete, and final clinical ECG interpretation. Quiz-Gated Learning:After completing a quiz, content related to that quiz will be unlocked. Each lesson will have at least one lecture and practice mastery questions related to that topic.
