  • Teaching the basic principles of electrocardiography experimentally
    Derganc, Jure, 1973- ; Gomišček, Gregor
    Electrocardiography (ECG) is one of the most widely used methods in clinical diagnosis. Here we describe an experimentalapproach that offers hands-on learning of its basic principles. An experimental ... model that consists of a rubber foil with a lowelectrical conductivity and a DC power unit is used to simulate the body and the electric dipole of the heart. It enables studentsto learn about the main features of the electric dipole and to visualize the induced electric potential in the body. The determina-tion of the characteristic equipotential lines around the dipole and the measurement of simple electrocardiograms, comprisingbipolar and unipolar leads, are made with a low-cost voltmeter. To make the exercise more relevant to clinical ECG, as well asmaking it more interesting, the students are additionally tasked to measure their own electrocardiogram with a simple, personalhandheld ECG device.
