ECG In Real Time

Proven

Effectively understand and interpret ECG rhythms when it counts most

Practical

Quickly and accurately interpret ECGs in clinical settings.

Powerful

Grow vibrant, breakthrough skills using the Six Second ECG® Method

Program Overview

The Power of the 3-Step System

At the heart of this guide lies our clinically proven 3-step system:

  1. HR (Heart Rate) - Understanding the impulse rate and its implications
  2. QRS (QRS Complex) - Determining where the impulse originates and its efficiency
  3. P's (P Waves) - Identifying atrial activity and its relationship to ventricular response

This systematic approach has been clinically tested across multiple countries, healthcare disciplines, and care settings for over a decade. From emergency departments to intensive care units, from new graduates to seasoned practitioners, this method has been consistently described as elegant, effective, and sticky — terms that reflect its practical value in real-world applications.

"At first glance, one might struggle to make meaning of the various ''wiggly'' ECG traces. However, Mike took his time to break down the entire lesson in a way every beginner would walk out feeling confident to take care of a patient in a telemetry unit. It is worth the time and money and I would recommend it to any health practitioner working in an acute health setting." - Godsway

"A good length of time for the content as it gave time to practice in order to solidify what we learned. Not sure that this course needs to change but I now that I have done this one I do want to do more, like the 12 lead ECG and clinical applications." - Debbie

"This class was great. It was my second time taking it. I should have stuck with the 3 step process vs. the 10 step I had to learn from job. This makes the process of identifying the rhythm much easier and you are able to make sense of where the impulse is originating from." - Nika

"I honestly didn't know what to expect. I've read the infamous orange book cover to cover and still didn't understand. Taking this course was an effort to help and hopefully make a huge part of my future career and little easier to understand when I start school. I am EVER so grateful for this course and for what I was able to learn...this course has definitely made things click! The simple steps toward reading EKGs was helpful and stick well. Very impressed by this course. I liked the small class size and engagement. I want all of my colleagues to take this course! I honestly wasn't sure how the online format would work but as someone who is an advocate for in person learning, this online format worked!" - Alia

"The part that resonated with me was being able to quickly recognize various rhythms and that the process always starts with evaluating your patient. It's really easy to focus on the heart monitor and not the patient so beginning with that as the first set of the process really helps." - Marcel
