Never bother commenting on these but geniunely thank you so much for not only explaning the rhythms but giving the best and easiest ways to identify them along with images. Easily the best video on here

[wholeNwon]

I am often critical of videos like yours since it is usually very easy to find errors in the presentations. That was not the case here. I might have chosen to elaborate on some points but the video could then easily have increased massively in length. The algorithm brought me here but now I think I'll watch more of your other videos and learn.

[beautiful_sky]

this is simplest shortest and easiest I found among all videos. thank you.

[waelfadlallah]

That is very much useful to know and memorize 🙏

[dopamine]

Thank you for very simple and easy explanation.

[beachesandmore]

In the US... We call the (Aflutter waves = Large F waves), & (AFib waves = small f waves). Other than that it's pretty good. ✅. Also, with 3rd degree, I've just recently seen were the ventricular rate was in the 60's & 70's, which was cool, but apparently can happen.

[KiwikimNZ]

Excellent video! Thank you. Cardiology for me, seems to confuse me as much as math does! I never seem to be able to grasp the concepts, but the light bulb went off for me in this explanation, so thank you lol

[kjw]

This is EXTREMELY well done, and an excellent overview! THANK YOU

[eigshcu]

great ECG walk through, would watch again. Thank you very much for this interesting lecture.

[sangrampatil]

Very simple and informative.excellent job.

[dherrington]

Excellent! Clear and concise for a topic that easily gets lost in the weeds.
The animation was spot on.

[hengyi]

great ECG walk through, would watch again

[KDB]

Thank you for sharing! This made me feel even better about my ecg. Doctor just said it looked ok, but I prefer explanations like this! Thank you!

[debbietweedy]

Best info presented in a way of easy understanding. Thank you

[NB-kyol]

This is great. I wish you had gone into a little more detail and the strips were larger to view but the info is great! -R.N. In the stress lab.

What I don't like about ANY videos explaining EKG patterns, is they always show ideal reads. Almost all the EKGs I see are hot messes, that even if it's a pattern I know easily on something like this video, it takes a bit to separate the static from the actual read

[orlean]

amazing video, especially the mnemonic "william marrow". just one feedback: in Germany/Switzerland we say PQ interval instead you PR interval. In this case PQ makes more sense because as you show in 6:56 your interval starts with the beginnin of P and stops at the beginning of Q and not at the end of Q. Thanks a lot and thumbs up for this video

[harveybc]

Interesting to see how complicated reading these things are. Not being a doctor I watched it out of curiosity. I now know how some of my math and physics students must have felt like. 🙂
