Practice ECG 36 (W1)

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. This ECG is from an asymptomatic 84-year-old woman seen in the office.

Informative and easy to understand!

I had the pleasure of being lectured about electrocardiogram interpretation by Dr. Siegal during my cardiology training. Dr. Siegal captured these lectures in videos for self-education and training. They are informative and easy to understand in a field where ECG interpretations can be intimidating. I wish I had these videos during my medical school and training years.

Great visual examples

The videos are great for people who are visual and audio learners. They go at a pace that is easy to understand and there are good visual examples.

More confident

After completing this course, I feel more confident in ECG interpretation. While still a novice, I now have the necessary tools to practice with interpretation in the clinical setting.

Better serve patients

This course was well organized and detailed. I appreciated you beginning with the basics. Axis determination is still difficult and I plan to rewatch several of the videos, but overall, I have certainly gained valuable knowledge and tools to better serve my patients. Thank you.

Best ECG Course I have taken!

Thank you for building a course that is easy to understand. The resource materials will be a great for reference moving forward. This is, by far, the best EKG course I have taken!
