It’s not always possible for you to be given the results of your ECG immediately, as the recordings will have to be looked at by a specialist doctor to determine whether there are signs of a possible problem. In addition to providing comprehensive information, we considered resources that offered interactive learning experiences such as quizzes, case studies, and video tutorials.
