The bit of history at the beginning: really adds to the overall comprehensibility of the talk. Well done.

Great presentation! Very Simplified! Thought the 2nd ECG was AFIB. Still she's a gifted teacher even high school students could understand this!

Dr. Jois misspoke at 4:16 when she said " . . . V1 is going
to be on the right side on the precordial wall of the chest somewhere around the sternal angle right between ribs one and two."
In most people, the sternal angle lines up horizontally with the 2nd rib (rarely with the 3rd rib). V1 and V2 wouldn't be placed between the 1st and 2nd ribs which is describing the location of the 1st intercostal space. Rather, they're placed between the 4th and 5th ribs in the 4th intercostal space with the center of the electrode on the sternal edge.

32:00 - isn't it a slow response A-fib? No visible P waves, a significantly irregular rhythm and very small irregular high frequency waves, especially in V1.

Different countries use different colors for leads. The most popular system in Europe is RA = red, LA = yellow, LL = green, RL (ground) = black.

Love the "thumb trick", wow thanks, med student here studying for Step 1 !

[andyfromdenver]

Excellent tip and explanation of axis deviation using thumbs; I'll always remember. Identifying LVH and RVH from the EKG is so helpful. Thank you so much.

[saqib]

That was really good! Nice and simple!

[fahadahmed]

About the axes. Just remember this. Lead I and avF are a couple. As long as a couple dont fuck with each other, life is good. If they do, life is really fucked up.
So here we go.
1.If the wave both positive in lead I and avF = neutral"couple"
2. Both top facing each other, they are RIGHT for each other= RAD
3. Both facing away from each other, the couple LEFT each other= LAD .
4. Both negative Lead I and avF = RAD&LAD and life is fucked up.
Ur welcome.

Good job, I read a book that kept referring to it as ECG, I kinda liked it.

[tagreedeisa]

30:00 RAD not normal axis, R wave is strongly positive in right leads II, III, negative in AVL, perpendicularly on lead 1,
Not normal
Generally, good for beginners, thanks

[newmanlord]

Doc,
It is a helpful Video,
I rather could not make the difference between the P wave and the T wave because it is my second year of following up.
Thanks and Hi from Ghana.

Great review....and the moderator is adorable!

[nadika]

Very clear lecture 👌 absolutely remarkable 👌

[thevarietiesstore]

Appreciate the great work. But the ECG is based on calculation and algorithms. Each and every conditions is programmable. Its a shame we do not have ECG machines that give us direct diagnosis or says its outright normal. We should not be wasting time calculating and looking into so many variables.

[anitablanco]

Hi, have you received my email to you about the EKG strips?

[mubarakal-hatemi]

After Amal Mattu everyone talks about ECGs sounds like a joke!

[tahseenraza]

Are you trying to teach them or trying to seduce them?!!!plz focus on one thing at one moment
