Effect of Knowledge on Interpretation of ECG on the Treatment of Patients with ACS (Acute coronary syndrome): Literature Review

Background: Knowledge to analyse ECG abnormalities in nurses needs to be identified to determine their level of understanding in determining appropriate actions, because correct ECG interpretation is one of the first steps to reduce mortality in patients with heart disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence between nurses' knowledge in ECG interpretation on the handling of patients with heart disease. Methods: This study uses a literature review method taken from google scholar, pubmed and scopus published from 2018-2023 Then select, analyse, and review several sources. Results: knowledge affects the results of ekg interpretation, besides knowledge there are also other factors. Such as experience, attitude, and skills. Conclusion: the better the knowledge of a nurse, the better it will be in interpreting ekg. Suggestion: in addition to increasing the knowledge of nurses, it would be nice after conducting EKG training to be immediately applied and continue to hone their skills.
