Understanding ECGs | From Placement to Interpretation

In this lecture, Dr Mike makes ECGs (EKGs) simple! He explains where the electrodes are placed, what happens electrically in the heart (depolarization and repolarization), and how they are interpreted on an ECG trace (P wave, QRS complex, and T wave).

In our ward, you are now known as "the hot guy that explained ECGs" 😂

Hi Dr. Mike, I just wanted to express how much I appreciate your videos. My husband mentors our local elementary school's Science Olympiad team, and although neither of us have a medical background, your videos have been a game-changer. They’re not only clear and easy to understand, but also so engaging that even the elementary school kids are captivated. Last year, the topic was the respiratory system, and out of over 20 teams, all three teams from our school placed-taking first, second, and sixth! This year, the topic is the cardiovascular system, and we’ll definitely be turning to your videos again. Thank you so much for creating such accessible and fun content!

[@tortreks]

This is the best explanation, and you give the practical knowledge of the science behind the electrodes. Thank you so much.

Shouldn't the "eyes" be on the opposite side of the arrow?

[@DrMattDrMike]

No, the eyes show the angles at which the leads “observe” the electrical changes. 😊

[@everythingpro7545]

@@DrMattDrMike Yes, I figured it out later. Thanks.

I found your channel last week while studying pharmacology, and now with you guys to brush up on cardiology! I like the camera panning. I'm a very "visual concept web" way of thinker so I like how you draw everything up and leave it there to reference back on. Highly recommend your channel to any students or professionals needing review.
