DECGT - Technical Course Overview

The Diploma in ECG Technology (DECGT) is a 2-year technical diploma program approved by the Telangana State Paramedical Board. Electrocardiography (ECG) technicians operate specialized recording equipment that measures and registers the electrical activities of patients' hearts, which are crucial for detecting heart blockages, arrhythmias, and enlargements.

At Siddartha Group, we provide thorough training in placing 12-lead electrodes, operates digital ECG units, monitoring basic stress treadmill tests, identifying pathological rhythms, and checking equipment calibrations. Practical training takes place in outpatient wards and emergency departments.

Key Academic Modules

The DECGT curriculum balances cardiac anatomy with machine calibrations:

• Anatomy & Conduction Pathways: Understanding systemic circulation, heart valves, sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, and Purkinje fibers.
• ECG Electrode Placements: Precision positioning of limb leads and precordial chest leads (V1-V6) under standard and emergency guidelines.
• Rhythm Analysis & Waveforms: Analysis of P waves, QRS complexes, T waves, measuring PR intervals, and detecting basic tachycardia, bradycardia, or myocardial ischemia.
• ECG Machine Configurations: Calibrating chart paper speeds, amplitude gains, filtering artifact noise, and managing battery backup setups.
