The Printed ECG

Proven

Developed by SkillStat Learning, creators of the internationally recognized Six Second ECG method trusted for over 20 years.

Practical

Learn exactly how clinicians use printed rhythm strips to measure intervals, establish baselines, and document ECG findings.

Powerful

Turn ECG pattern recognition into a repeatable clinical process that supports safer decisions and clearer communication.

Program Overview

Printed ECGs remain a critical tool in patient care, documentation, and risk recognition. Yet many clinicians are never taught how to use rhythm strips systematically.

The Printed ECG fills that gap.

This on-demand ECG course teaches you how to interpret printed rhythm strips with precision and confidence. You’ll learn how to measure ECG intervals correctly, choose the appropriate heart rate calculation method, and recognize changes that matter clinically, especially when rhythms are irregular or subtle.

Rather than focusing on rhythm memorization, this course emphasizes process. You’ll practice the same step-by-step approach used by experienced clinicians to assess ECGs under real-world conditions.

Designed to pair seamlessly with ECG in Real Time, this course strengthens the link between rapid monitor-based recognition and thoughtful, defensible ECG documentation.

What You'll Learn

Accurate Heart Rate Calculation

Determine heart rate using the correct method for regular, irregular, and messy rhythms.

ECG Paper Timing & Measurement

Understand ECG paper speed and spacing to measure time and intervals with confidence.

QRS Width & Impulse Origin

Identify where rhythms originate by measuring QRS width before naming rhythms.

PR & QT Interval Assessment

Measure PR and QT intervals accurately and recognize when changes increase clinical risk.

Baseline & Trend Recognition

Use printed ECGs to establish baselines and detect meaningful changes over time.

Clear ECG Documentation

Describe rhythms and interval changes using structured, chart-ready ECG grammar.

What You'll Receive

On-Demand ECG Video Course

Concise, clinically focused instruction you can complete at your own pace.

Printable ECG Course Supplement

A hands-on workbook with rhythm strip walkthroughs designed for measurement and comparison.

Realistic Clinical Case Walkthroughs

Practice interpreting ECGs in scenarios that mirror real patient care situations.

"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
