Objective To explore the actual effect of “graphic-sequenced memory method” in teaching electrocardiogram (ECG). Methods One hundred students were randomly divided into a traditional teaching group (n=50) and an innovative teaching group (n=50) in May, 2014. Teachers in the traditional teaching group utilized the traditional teaching outline, and teachers in the innovative teaching group received training in the new teaching method and syllabus. All students took an examination in the final semester by analyzing 20 ECGs from real clinical cases and gave their ECG reports. Results The average ECG reading time was (32.0±4.8) minutes for the traditional teaching group and (18.0±3.6) minutes for the innovative teaching group. The average ECG accuracy results were (43.0±5.2)% for the traditional teaching group and (77.0±9.6)% for the innovative teaching group. Conclusions ECG learning is an important branch of the cardiac discipline, but ECG’s mechanisms are intricate and the learning content scattered. Textbooks tend to make students feel confused due to the restrictions of the length and format of the syllabi, and there are many other limitations. Graphic-sequenced memory method is a useful method which can be fully used in ECG teaching.
