I've been rumnaging through multiple ecg videos to understand the stuff, until i stumbled upon yours! Very smartly and lucidly explained. Pls keep posting such videos. Not everyone can explain the way you do.
Honestly, this is the first clear video I've found to introduce me to ECGs, I'm learning them in med school right now and the information they gave us just delves straight into leads without ever explaining the basics
I was afraid of that but I believe it, I've been thru the entire medical school curriculum, bought every book, heard not ever lecture but probably more than you & I listened (you were on your phones or computers playing video games) I have little "context' coz I don't practice every day but I know how dumb you guys are, good gawd, I listened to lectures, actually bought the books- I didn't use Wikipedia instead (I know u guys fon't buy the books, that's a scandal). I know much more than any MD I see including my new neurosurgeon (about my condition, at least, but probably everything). I started buying neurosurgery books in high school at 15, graduated early, went to college at 16, A honor roll, majored in Psychology, was LCSW by 24 and worked as Medical Social Work Hospital Director for 30 years, then got Psychology PhD. My health declined for unknown reason at 65, which I discovered, after a little over 2 years (norm for MDs to figure it out is 12 YEARS), Pituitary adenoma, very odd after being a 50 year Adele Davis devotee ( 3 children born with teeth breaking thru and able to roll over and hold heads up on day of natural childbirth, first walked at 8 months other two at 9, all genius IQs 169, 151, 150), 25 year vegetarian, almost 50 years regular exercise (every other day 20 minutes on bike then elliptical, in addition to using all machines at gym). I wasn't given Hydrocortisone and DA soon enough (ACTH 2..6, Elevated Prolactin ie. No dopamine 4/15/2022)- unbeknownst to me, had gone into heart failure, (LBBB low voltage and NOT TOLD, so I had infarction a few months later. Now, I have CHF (with LBBB, & low voltage and the other day, diagnosed with borderline left deviation, with wondering leads in V1 etc). I have to wait until November to even see an actual cardiologist. In the mean time I've contracted shingles, of course in trigeminal nerve- and everything my MD has prescribed for me would put me back into acute heart failure. Sorry, didn't mean to dump on you, but to die at 67 due to medical incompetence (including my own), is a bummer with 2 grand sons and 2 granddogs.
Hi Nichole, I have transported medical transport for 20 yrs. I have started Cardiac monitoring/EKG Tech in my local hospital. I want you to know how awesome your videos are. Ty for being you!! So thorough & easy to follow! So proud of you, keep the videos coming!
I love you! I'm not a nurse but I have an aortic valve replacement 30+ years ago and now getting a pacemaker, this is the exact video I was looking for to understand to be able to read my own ekg . Very Helpful. stay happy :)
This is great information! I am starting as an exercise physiologist in a few days and will need to know how to conduct stress tests using bruce protocol so knowing how to interpret these EKG's is crucial. Thank you so much for your videos as I will be studying off of them to prepare for this role from now on having not taken any prior EKG classes in undergrad!
6:56… 6 minutes…and 56 seconds… One more time… ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽 …6:56 and 🤔🤔😐 You explained what many took 2, maybe even 3 hours to confuse the heck out of a lot of us. 😂🤣😂 (and totally no disrespect to the professors etc) but WOW!!! You made that sooooooooo easy to understand & decipher. 🙏🏽 Thank you!!! 😁
THAT was my question too i am starting Labor and delivery monday and i have a basic arrythmia exam and the numbers in the package are off not the same as this video so confused
Great videos! But you say PR interval less then 0.20 seconds when typed in your 5 step method it’s typed 0.02 seconds. I was confused and had to look up. So 5 steps should be updated to list 0.20 it shows 0.02
Nice video . But i want to suggest small correction. One milivolt equals to ten mm ( ten small boxes ) it is standerd gain i.e. ten mm per milivolt and not one small box is equal to one milivolt. One small box is equal to point one milivolt. Thank u.
Our hearts are very busy and very complex and they have to stay on time and rhythm. Can you imagine a heart trying to move blood clots? Can you imagine the bundle of perkinje dealing with micro blood clots? Yikes!!!
Very informative video I’m currently taking Anatomy & Physiology 2 and I have a lab where we have to read ekgs & determine if it’s normal or abnormal & also figure out the duration intervals for the sis & I am sooo lost 😞 I still don’t understand
Hello i passed my NCLEX with the help of Dr Steve after trying 2 times and the third time i made it with contact him if interested on whatsapp +1(219)885-9756
