EKG Patterns | Premature Atrial & Ventricular Contractions [PACs & PVCs] 

It's rare that I comment on RU-vid videos. I am a 4th (out of 5) semester nursing student...RU-vid videos are basically my lifeline for understanding class content. Out of ALL the nursing videos I have watched over the past semesters, I swear this is probably the most straightforward & clear teaching style I have ever seen. Thank you so much!

Whoever disliked this is a hater. This was eloquently explained and easy to follow. Thanks.

This was soooo good. He teaches very well. I watched this before my ekg class and I believe I will do well in the morning. Thank you for your simplicity.

I am a person that needs to know "why". I have been looking and asking how I know PAC from PVC and no one could explain the "why" to me. THANK YOU, you explained and it just CLICKED!!! I get it....you do a fantastic job of explaining!!!!!!

I have struggled to understand EKG interpretation. This is the best explanation ever, and I have looked at MANY. Thank you!🤩

Great job!!!! You are a great teacher; you made PACs and PVCs so simple and so EASY to understand. Thank you so,so much.

Brilliantly clear. I'm a non-medical novice wanting to understand my own ECGs (EKGs) and this explanation is as clear as day in enabling me to classify them. So glad it's the first I stumbled upon, and thanks.

Now I understand Bigeminy and Trigeminy! Perfectly taught! Thank you, Mr. Tokoph!

This video was absolutely amazing!! I feel so much more confident as an RN with six years under my belt and as a new FNP grad!! GOD BLESS & THANK YOU!!!🙏🏻🤩♥️

Just wanted to say thank you so much for explaining these EKG patterns in such a simple, easy to understand way! I am in school for polysomnography and we have to learn how to recognize the different heart arrythmias and I was completely lost. I just found your video and am blown away! Thank you thank you so much!

Best videos I have seen on ekg. You converted all the important information in this short video. Very easy to follow. Thank you :)

Best ECG video on RU-vid. Thanks so much

By far, the best video I have seen on PVCs and PACs. Thumbs up

I understand what is going on from how well you explain and break down everything. Thank you I am trying to get a job as a telemetry tech and your video is great for someone without experience to learn.

OMG, somehow it finally makes sense! I couldn’t decipher the difference between PAC and PVC since both occurred early but now it makes sense. Thank you!!!!!

Thank you for such a simple and to-the-point video.

I'm taking an EKG tech course and this video was of great help!

First time to clearly understand the difference on each! Well done!!

I have PVCs and PACs but I have more PVCs. They are incredibly painful for me. Most docs say they’re benign and shouldn’t be painful but I feel like I get zapped right through the heart. I end up getting these “episodes” that last a few hours, usually happen 1-2 times a week. I get dysautonomia with it and usually happens once I hit around 100bpm. Then from sitting to standing I’ll jump from 100bpm to 150ish just standing nothing else. I don’t think it’s pots because it’s just during these epsiodes. Outside of the episodes I also have bradycardia. Occasionally my Apple Watch will wake me up saying my HR was until 40bpm for more than 10min. I’ll also get high heart rate alerts too and sometimes will get both on the same day. During these episodes I have chest pain, shortness of breath, the dysautonomia, I also am clammy and sweat a lot. I’m weak and feel like I’m going to faint but I don’t and no one seems to know what’s going on. I watch these videos and I’m still just confused. During peak epsiodes I can get 7 pvcs caught on a 30 second ekgs on my Apple Watch. It hurts so bad. I wish I could figure out what to. My cardiologist said she only likes to to beta blockers for pvcs if my load is over like 5% and while ky pvcs are painful I’m more concerned about finding help for these episodes. Anyone reading have any ideas to look into? Thanks 😭

As an EMT intern this is INCREDIBLY helpful. Many thanks for your clear instruction

This is awesome, hope your channel goes viral!

Thankyou!

You are the best

Thanks

succint! thank you

Very clearly explained.. Thank you very much.. But u didnt mention about R-on- T wave

Ok I noticed all the praises on the explanation between PASs and PVCs which is fine but no explanation of how to treat these symptoms. I have had PVCs for 50 years but the last 6 months they have gotten worse. I suspect it's due in part of the medications I'm taking. They started to get worse sine I have been taking Levothyroxin . I have heart disease and Parkinsons. So my Dr. prescribed Propranolol. It leaves me feeling tired all day. Obvious side effect. Any recommendations for other midst Trea PVCs? This is driving me crazy. Taking 1 mg of Xanax to help me sleep only at night.

I get them and they scare the crap out of me. What would you call it if it was once every 10 to 15? Thank you.

Are PVCs dangerous when they are with Innapropriate sinus tachycardia HR up to 163 -170bpm ? I've had this for over a year after covid and cardiologist aren't taking it seriously and I'm starting to get scared, chest pain, dizziness, palpitations as well fatigue. Thank you for this video. Any advice would be so helpful.
