Answered by Secondmedic Expert

The best sites to practice reading electrocardiograms (EKG) online are actually patient-simulation programs such as Auscultation Ventures, EMS 12 Lead, and Life in the Fast Lane. You will get to practice real-time EKG interpretation by accessing their comprehensive libraries of recordings. All these sites offer extensive audio libraries of challenging cases along with detailed analysis from expert clinicians. This can help you hone your skills so that you can confidently read EKGs in a clinical setting.

Moreover, many medical schools have online interactive tutorials and quiz banks that allow students to review EKGs interactively. For example, Medcom's video library covers more than 100 topics related to rhythm strip analysis and includes several sample interpretations for each topic for reference purposes. Similarly, ECG Academy has an array of tutorials on analyzing educational strips that use artificial intelligence technology coupled with real-world data sets giving an immersive experience while learning how to decode an EKG correctly.

Finally, there are some great books available out there which should act as your go-to resource when practicing the art of reading EKGs like The Rhythm Book by Gordon Smith or Diagnostic Atlas of Adult ECGS – Rational Interpretation & Comprehensive Analysis by Mahmoud Al Juboori et al., both highly recommended resources if you want to excel at reading ECGs!
