I'm a doctor and this is a very good and informative video. I'm not surprised because 95% of my clinical education is from nurses.

@caitlinwelch1518 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly, this is the first clear video I've found to introduce me to ECGs, I'm learning them in med school right now and the information they gave us just delves straight into leads without ever explaining the basics

I was afraid of that but I believe it, I've been thru the entire medical school curriculum, bought every book, heard not ever lecture but probably more than you & I listened (you were on your phones or computers playing video games) I have little "context' coz I don't practice every day but I know how dumb you guys are, good gawd, I listened to lectures, actually bought the books- I didn't use Wikipedia instead (I know u guys fon't buy the books, that's a scandal). I know much more than any MD I see including my new neurosurgeon (about my condition, at least, but probably everything). I started buying neurosurgery books in high school at 15, graduated early, went to college at 16, A honor roll, majored in Psychology, was LCSW by 24 and worked as Medical Social Work Hospital Director for 30 years, then got Psychology PhD. My health declined for unknown reason at 65, which I discovered, after a little over 2 years (norm for MDs to figure it out is 12 YEARS), Pituitary adenoma, very odd after being a 50 year Adele Davis devotee ( 3 children born with teeth breaking thru and able to roll over and hold heads up on day of natural childbirth, first walked at 8 months other two at 9, all genius IQs 169, 151, 150), 25 year vegetarian, almost 50 years regular exercise (every other day 20 minutes on bike then elliptical, in addition to using all machines at gym). I wasn't given Hydrocortisone and DA soon enough (ACTH 2..6, Elevated Prolactin ie. No dopamine 4/15/2022)- unbeknownst to me, had gone into heart failure, (LBBB low voltage and NOT TOLD, so I had infarction a few months later. Now, I have CHF (with LBBB, & low voltage and the other day, diagnosed with borderline left deviation, with wondering leads in V1 etc). I have to wait until November to even see an actual cardiologist. In the mean time I've contracted shingles, of course in trigeminal nerve- and everything my MD has prescribed for me would put me back into acute heart failure. Sorry, didn't mean to dump on you, but to die at 67 due to medical incompetence (including my own), is a bummer with 2 grand sons and 2 granddogs.

I want to say thank you so much for posting this!! I was born with congenital hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular arrhythmias. In all of my life (I’m 51 now) and meaning no disrespect to my pediatric endocrinologist nor the awesome team I’ve had for the last 7 yrs who specializes in my condition (the ones in between were awful!) but this is THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME someone has taken the time to explain an ekg in a way I, as a patient, can understand. Most is large jargon that goes over a patient’s head including when they post things in our patient portals, so we’re even more stressed and confused. So thank you very much!!!

You are awesome! I worked in mechanical failure analysis in the automotive and trucking industry. I could troubleshoot failure in all kinds of mechanical devices. Sadly, the most important pump, I know nothing about! I suffered heart failure, have an EF of 15 and now I am educating myself on my condition. I am fascinated by the operation of the heart. I live by the creed "if you know how it works, you can properly maintain it and/or repair it." Thank you so much for this lesson, now I have a clear understanding of my ekg.

Vertical measurments are usually .1 mv per small square/10mm per 1 mv, (not 1 full mv per small square). useful when measuring pathological P or other wave amplitudes. Enjoyed the stepwise approach in this series. Concise, and clear, good job.
