Background:
The digital transformation in medicine, particularly in technology-orientated areas such as rhythmology, is leading to a rapid change in diagnostic and therapeutic options. Digital skills are helpful and need to keep up with this pace of change.
Research Question:
Which digital technologies and resources with rhythmological relevance play a role today and in the future?
Methods:
Review of the various digital technologies for rhythm detection and monitoring, as well as current digital resources for training and education.
Results:
Rhythm detection and monitoring can be optimized with smart devices and telemedicine, while digital platforms such as social media and virtual reality offer new perspectives in the training of rhythmology specialists.
Conclusion:
Acquiring digital skills will be the basis for future work in rhythmology.

01:11Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
01:24ECG Interpretation of Rhythms
Components of the Electrocardiogram
The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage....
01:29Assessment of Ventilation II: Respiratory Depth and Rhythm
Respiratory depth measures the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a breath. It can vary from shallow to deep and typically remains consistent when a person is at rest or asleep. Occasionally, individuals will automatically inhale deeply, known as sighing, which inflates the lungs with more air than normal breathing.
To assess respiratory depth, observe the degree of chest excursion or movement:
