What Can We Do For You?

The ECG Guru's primary mission has always been to provide free teaching materials for ECG and cardiac topic instructors.  We have recently updated the site, thanks to our awesome web designer, Steven Spencer, of Graphic Web Design.  I am working hard to update all the ECGs in our archives so they will show up in the navigation pane on the left. In the meantime, if you can't find something you are looking for, use the "Search" tab at the top of the page.
