ECG Machine Readings Can Be Very Wrong
Relying on the ECG machine’s interpretation can be a serious mistake—especially when it comes to arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and ischemia. Recognize non-occlusive MIs, SVT with BBB vs. ventricular tachycardia, and wide complex tachycardia where amiodarone can kill.
