Module 2: Cardiac Anatomy & Physiology — ECG Academy

Build a practical anatomy and physiology foundation for telemetry. Start with a fast terminology quickstart, then learn structure, flow, and conduction concepts that drive rhythm interpretation.

Lessons

• Core Cardiac and ECG Terms (Quickstart) — Fast vocabulary alignment for anatomy, conduction, waveform, and telemetry communication terms.
• Heart Anatomy: Chambers & Valves — Four chambers, four valves, one blood-flow loop. Learn the heart structure you need to understand wh
• Coronary Circulation — How the heart feeds itself through coronary arteries, why perfusion depends on diastole, and what co
• The Cardiac Conduction System — The most important lesson in Module 2. Trace the electrical pathway from SA node to Purkinje fibers
• Electrical vs. Mechanical Events — The monitor shows electricity, not pumping. Understand PEA and why you should never assume a normal-
• Cardiac Cycle and Heart Sounds — Bring Module 2 together: systole, diastole, heart sounds mapped to the EKG, cardiac output, and why
