With this ECG, we will take a completely different approach to the interpretation. I want you to look at the diagnoses made by the computer, and see if you agree or disagree. You need to defend your positions. After making your decisions, listen to the detailed explanations. You may want to read the ECG from beginning to end, as usual, and make your final diagnoses.

Informative and easy to understand!

I had the pleasure of being lectured about electrocardiogram interpretation by Dr. Siegal during my cardiology training. These videos are just like his lectures - informative and easy to understand in a field that can be intimidating. I wish I had these videos during my medical school and training years.
