Methods used to interpret the 12‐lead electrocardiogram: Pattern memorization versus the use of vector concepts

This article extols the value of using Grant's approach to the interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs). The essay includes a discussion on how people learn and emphasizes the difference in memorizing information, thinking, and learning. Simply stated, the brains of most people are not desig...

description This article extols the value of using Grant's approach to the interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs). The essay includes a discussion on how people learn and emphasizes the difference in memorizing information, thinking, and learning. Simply stated, the brains of most people are not designed to memorize countless numbers of ECG patterns. Accordingly, the essay supports the view that a method of interpretation must be used, and the reader is encouraged to use basic principles of electrocardiography, including vector concepts, to interpret each ECG.
