Welcome to the last EKG course you will ever need to take. Through a series of different video modules, the world of cardiac rhythms comes to life. If you think learning about EKGs is mundane and boring, think again. This course will help you master the art of reading EKGs. The videos are designed to make your learning informative but also fun and dynamic. With real-life clinical correlations, you will see how those squiggly lines on the paper come alive in the world of patient care.

Whether you are a medical student, RN, PA, NP, or medical professional, this course will help you master EKG interpretation. Our videos are engaging and dynamic. They were created by a cardiologist with years of teaching students just like you. 

In this section we will explore the fundamentals of EKG interpretation. I will begin by reviewing cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology then go over what each EKG wave and segment represents. You will learn how to identify sinus rhythm and ensure proper lead placement, how to calculate the heart rate and how to determine the QRS axis. By the end of this lecture you will have a solid foundation from which to build upon as you learn about EKG pathology later in this lecture series. Let’s dive in!

In this video you will learn how to recognize both EKG evidence of right and left ventricular hypertrophy as well as right and left atrial enlargement.

In this video you will learn about the different criteria necessary to diagnose a right and left bundle branch block and left anterior and posterior fascicular block. In the second half of this lecture I will teach you how to identify first, second and 3rd degree AV blocks

In this lecture I will review how to recognize different types of atrial arrhythmias from benign PACs to more dangerous arrhythmias like SVT, atrial tachycardia, Atrial fibrillation and Atrial flutter.

In this video I will review how to recognize PVCs and then go over how to identify different types of ventricular arrhythmias then give you strategies to determine if a wide complex tachycardia is SVT or VT.

This lecture covers Myocardial Infarction. This 18-minute video will review terminology, myocardial ischemia, ST depressions, T wave inversions, etc

In this lecture I will introduce to the basics of cardiac pacing. You will develop an understanding of how electrodes placed in different chambers can sense electrical activity and pace the heart when necessary. You will learn how to recognize normal pacing on an EKG and also how to identify signs of pacemaker malfunction.

In this lecture I will go over the characteristic EKG abnormalities seen with a variety of important clinical conditions. You will learn about how to recognize Digoxin abnormality, WPW and Brugada pattern, electrolyte abnormalities, pericarditis, pulmonary embolism and hypothermia.

In this section you will be able to test use your EKG skills to recognize some of the most important rhythm abnormalities seen on telemetry

Here is your chance to test your skills by reviewing clinical cases and interpreting the associated EKG.

In this section you can view EKGs were misinterpreted by the EKG machine.

Use your the skills and knowledge you've gained in this EKG course to see if you can outsmart the machine and come up with the correct diagnosis.
