Normal sinus rhythm on an EKG, khanacademymedicine (8:52)
Lead II is used to describe the components of a normal sinus rhythm on an EKG. Descriptions are color coded in sections and well explained to show what is happening at the different stages.
USMLE Step 1: High Yield EKGs, Boards and Beyond (19:17)
VIdeo in a lecture format. Provides good descriptions for different sinus rhythms.
ECG 1 - ECG First Principles, Handwritten Tutorials (5:35)
ECG 2 - P,Q,R,S & T Waves, Handwritten Tutorials (5:29)
ECG 3 - Segments, Intervals & Diseases, Handwritten Tutorials (5:09)
The series of videos provide a great tutorial to understand all the components of an ECG. We encourage you to draw as you watch the video to actively participate in learning and then practice with strips, such as those recommended below.
EKG Concepts with Dr. Espinosa, UofL Internal Medicine Lecture Series (1:11:40)
Electrodes and leads, basic principles, dissecting the ECG (with practical implications) of waves and segments, and basic pathologic patterns are discussed in this video. Through explanation of EKGs.
EKG Practice Questions and Cases
All of the following contain many quizzes or games to help you continue to practice reading EKGs.
EKG Practice, Practical Clinical Skills
You can practice reading EKG strips with multiple choice questions and immediate feedback with answers. If you still need some help learning how to read EKG stirps, you can go through the introductory lessons and view the strip reference guide, which describes many types of arrhythmias.
ECG Wave-Maven, Harvard University
Contains over 100s of cases. You can browse through the list or diagnosis, view random cases, or search cases by diagnosis.
Answer a few questions about each rhythm strip. Dozens of total strips, including Basic ECG Anatomy, Identify the Sinus Node and Atrial Dysrhythmias, Junctional Dysrhythmias, AV Heart Blocks, Ventricular Dysrhythmias, and Ischemia and Infarction.
Interpret ECG strips in different quizzes.
You can find EKG lessons, references, and practice strips.
Cardiac Dysrhythmia Heartbeat Dances, Sammy T (5:54)
Fun video that helps you remember different sinus rhythms. Each dance uses the whole body to describe normal sinus rhythm, premature ventricular contraction, 1st degree heart block, 2nd degree heart block, junctional rhythm, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and Torsades de Pointes.
Cardiac dysrhythmias and tachycardias, khanacademymedicine (1:59:14)
This playlist covers 1. Electrical conduction in heart cells, 2. Normal sinus rhythm on an EKG, 3.Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), 4. Atrial fibrillation (Afib), 5. Atrial flutter (AFL), 6.Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT), 7. Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) & AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), 8.Ventricular tachycardia (Vtach), 9. Torsades de pointes, 10. What is ventricle fibrillation (Vfib)?, 11. Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) and asystole, 12. Electrocardioversion, 13. Pacemakers, 14. Antiarrhythmics, and 15. Ablation.
For each dysrhythmias, you will learn how to identify them, how they are treated, and about the use of anti-arrhythmic drugs and pacemakers.
Tachyarrhythmias - CRASH! USMLE Step 2 and 3, Paul Bolin (41:33)
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias, multifocal atrial tachycardia, Wolf-Parkinson-White, ventricular tachycardia, and Torsade de Pointes are discussed with their ECG findings, symptoms, and treatments.
Bradyarrhythmias - CRASH! USMLE Step 2 and 3, Paul Bolin
(22:44)
History, symptoms, physical exam, diagnosis, EKG findings, and treatment are discussed for sinus bradycardia and AV nodal blocks. At 16:14, there is also a nice table that summarizes the features and treatments for each type of AV block, Reading ECGs that show right and left bundle branch blocks are also covered in this video.
Flutters and Fibrillations - CRASH! USMLE Step 2 and 3, Paul Bolin (26:47)
Atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular fibrillation are all discussed with causes, presentation, labs, and EKGs. Notes are provided on the screen as the narrator discusses each topic.
