這是從Medscape pharmacist上面發現的教學課程，因為有圖解，可以給EKG基礎不好的我們作為快速學習的工具。

不過怕網站有問題，所以我將圖片擷取出來了，教學如下：
1.A 65-year-old woman presents to the ED with generalized fatigue and palpitations. She was started on an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor 2 months ago but has missed her follow-up appointments. What metabolic abnormality could be responsible for the life-threatening condition shown in her ECG tracing?
看完了嗎？解答如下：
Life-Threatening Condition (I): Hyperkalemia.The tracing shows a regular rhythm at 75 bpm. A P wave is present in front of each QRS complex, indicating that the rhythm is sinus. A flattened P wave (black arrow), prolonged PR interval (blue bar), borderline widened QRS complexes (green bar), and -- more pathognomonic -- pointed, narrow, and tented tall T waves (red arrow) are all features of hyperkalemia. The patient's serum potassium when the tracing was recorded was 7.2 mEq/L.
如果還有興趣繼續看下去，那就來第二題
2.An 83-year-old man with known ischemic cardiomyopathy has an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. He is rushed to the ED by paramedics. What life-threatening condition is shown in his ECG tracing and what rhythm is he at risk of developing?
解答：
Life-Threatening Condition (II): Long QT Interval and T-Wave Alternans. The tracing shows a sinus rhythm at 60 bpm. The QT interval (black bar) is prolonged to 680 msec (normal: 300-440 msec), with a QTc also of 680 msec (normal: < 460 msec). The T-wave heights alternate (blue arrows), which is often a precursor to the more severe rhythm of torsade de pointes.
繼續第三題：
A 74-year-old man with mild dementia presents to the ED with worsening confusion. His medications include omeprazole, aspirin, simvastatin, and digitalis. He lives alone at his home and his daughter comes to visit once a week to lay out his weekly medications. What could be responsible for the life-threatening condition shown on his ECG tracing?
解答：
Life-Threatening Condition (III): Digitalis Toxicity.The tracing shows no P waves, with a baseline of irregular, fine undulations, reflecting atrial fibrillation. The QRS complex is narrow and occurs regularly sometimes (in the latter part of the middle strip) and in groups at other times. This tracing is an example of junctional tachycardia with variable conduction to the ventricle. Conducted and skipped QRS complexes are present in patterns of 2:1 (black asterisk), 3:2 (blue asterisk), or 4:3 (red asterisk). The tracing is highly suggestive of digitalis toxicity, especially in this clinical context.
第四題：
A 25-year-old man arrives at the ED with a heavy cough after getting caught outside in a snowstorm while hiking. A routine ECG is performed. The concerned intern takes one look at it and rushes over to show you what he believes to be a serious problem. Do you agree with the intern's assessment of a life-threatening condition on the tracing?
解答：
Life-Threatening Condition (IV): Artifact Simulating a Run of Ventricular Tachycardia. At first glance, this ECG suggests a run of ventricular tachycardia. However, sharp deflections occur regularly at the same rate as the sinus rhythm seen at the beginning and at the end of the tracing (black bar). These deflections are undoubtedly QRS complexes of the sinus rhythm and provide an example of an artifact simulating ventricular tachycardia.
第五題：
A 32-year-old woman comes to the ED complaining of light-headedness and sweating. She is 5'6" tall and weighs less than 100 lbs. An ECG is immediately obtained, which evolves while you are watching. What life-threatening condition is seen on the ECG tracing?
解答：
Life-Threatening Condition (V): Torsade de Pointes. Sinus rhythm is present at the beginning (blue box), but the QT interval of the sinus beats is long (black bar). This is followed by a wide QRS tachycardia at a rate of approximately 200 bpm (red box). The QRS morphology and axis continuously change, indicating torsade de pointes, which is life-threatening.
最後提醒各位一件很重要的事情：心電圖是死的，病人是活的，不要悶著頭猛看心電圖，多看看病人比較實在。
