Myocardial Infarction / STEMI on ECG - Practice EKG

𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼:

- Clues and criteria to assess for STEMI (ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction) vs other causes of ST elevation (pericarditis etc.).
- A systematic approach to reading an ECG (rate, rhythm, axis, hypertrophy, ST changes, etc.)
- Initial steps of STEMI / Myocardial Infarction treatment

- The physiology of the heart
- EKG leads and vectors
- Leads and EKG paper
- The ECG tracing
- EKG waves, complexes, and intervals (p waves, QRS complexes, PR interval etc.)
- Axis on EKG and precordial leads
- The autonomic nervous system and the heart
- Heart rate and automaticity on the ECG
- The R to R interval
- Rhythm, arrhythmias, and escape rhythms,
- Premature beats and pauses on EKG
- Bigeminy, trigeminy, and tachyarrhythmias
- V-tach and torsades de points
- Atrial and ventricular flutter
- WPW syndrome (Wolff-Parkinson-White) and WPW pattern.
- Atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation on ECG
- Heart blocks and escape rhythms (1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree heart block)
- Bundle branch blocks, hemiblocks, and fascicular blocks
- Hypertrophy (LVH) and atrial enlargement
- Myocardial Infarction (STEMI vs NSTEMI)

I was struggling to freshenup my memories of ECG and you made it really simple, better that how i studied it even. Thank you so much.

[iik__]

Sir, no one teaches us the way you taught here. Thank you very much

[SK-trsx]

Perfect explanation, concise and very informative!

[samuelharuna]

I appreciate your effort putting out the video.

[RushiAcharya]

soo good.
thank you so much for making videos like these. :)

[dalaisand]

Are you a professor at Harvard university?
If not, I think you should because you are amazing!!. This is what the students need in college. A first class professor. Thank you

[HugDeeznueces]

good review while I am on call for the cathlab! lol...trying to keep occupied for the next 3 days of call..

[bharthigowda]

I think u explained well, but I can't understand anything, nursing student 😊

[OneSkiWonder]

This makes me want to become a doctor. 36 years old, AEMT, highest schooling is Associate Degree. No time like the present. Any ideas on which Bachelor degree would help me the most for getting into Med School would be greatly appreciated!

[yousifelbashir]

Very nice, consise presentstion

One thing only can you please move the writing up or down because we can't see the explanation drawing
Thanks

[Dabayare]

I do speach analysis and work with models to filter noises and recognise words. Can the medical field not feed these ECG readings to a machine that can quickly diagnose and report?

[greentea]

Thank you. Can you please have a lecture about Type 2 MI vs. myocardial injury? I am not in Medical field but still I enjoy learning.

Hello! I am not sure if I understood correctly, you said around 8:01 that the R wave is the positive component and S is the negative, but S is always after R. Wouldn’t that be the Q wave of necrosis?

[drhamdaankhan]

The way you explained the axis was quite difficult, sorry.👍🙄

[mohd.shabbir]

st segment depression in avr +tachycardia= percarditis
but in other video u said
a lot of st segment elevations...almost in every lead...is seen in pericarditis...?
