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).

Dr Mike your simplicity with so much clarity is 2nd to none 🤍.

The best cardiology lectures I could find on the internet. Thank you 🙏

[@aysefiliz1]

That was a superb lecture! I graduated medical school 18 years ago and I don't think I never quite understood ECG until now. Keep up the great work. I am in awe!!!

[@ahmadyusop3971]

You are absolutely right

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!

[@DrMattDrMike]

Oh that’s awesome! Thank you for the feedback! Best of luck!

[@jiafan7120]

The Science Olympiad Division A teams did well again! Two out of three teams placed this time, taking third and sixth. Thank you for your videos! It is pretty amazing to see these third and fourth graders talking about the semi lunar valves, the cuspid valves, the SA node, AV node, the PQRST waves….like it’s nobody’s business.

اعشقك يا دكتور مايكي انت الوحيد تبدا معايا من الصفر و تشرح ليا كاني طالبه منجد

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.

I wish i could hit like 1000 Times. What a great legend of out times. Thanks Dr Mike

Hi Dr Mike, I am a RN who is interested in learning more about ECGS. Thank you for making this simpler and more interesting to learn.

[@tortreks]

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

[@DrMattDrMike]

Glad you liked it!! 😊

[@ruhailmir1043]

Excellent way of teaching! ❤

[@johanneschikomo3013]

i am blessed to live in your era. live long Dr Mike

[@melissaFrogs]

My ER needs to watch this video… they aren’t doing it right 😢. You teach so well. Your videos helped me through some of my medical classes ❤

[@santoshs.b1723]

Hi mike thanks for making the concept to understand easier ❤

[@AyaAhmad-r8z]

best ecg video i've ever seen....wish you taught at our med school!

[@Savalanoghlu]

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

[@rulakmoiston]

Lmao

[@MuslimaSunatullayeva-s3r]

Super,thanks Dr.Mike

[@myozin7503]

Thank you so much, Sir.

Iam here in South Sudan,Dr excellent leactures.

[@omaraldulaimi909]

Could you please do videos about arrythmias?

[@sunrhym]

Easy to Understand Dr Mike

[@breespinner1339]

can you guys make a video on 12-lead ECG’ ischaemic changes and its relation to coronary arteries? i have never understood ECG’s until this video 🤣

[@dennismutuma9336]

Currently doing my MBChB in Kenya good stuffs

[@PsihologProfDrNataliaABuciuman]

You are just fabulous!

[@solomons-c5x]

Thank you dr. Mike

[@whoisanjaia]

Can you plz explain what does the pos def and neg def mean on a ekg reading, like if you have a pos charge going away from the lead you get a bump down understandable, but what does that mean on reading a ekg and learning the dysthymias

[@xifoz9790]

Thank you so much.

[@eyloncohen658]

[@ManjitKaur-gr6jj]

Dr Mike - could you please simplify the explanation for TEG 🙏

[@DrMattDrMike]

Well add it to the list 😊

[@JesusIsMyPower-w5f]

Will you talk about artifical nerve cell sir ❤️🙏

[@allyeenm4044]

Thank you Can you explain why the ECG for each lead different in direction??

[@VincentSh]

The deflections (upward/downward) depend on the positions of the different electrodes (leads) with regard to the depolarisation and repolarisation waves (vectors). This video may help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5u9lIGJpsxsbdE

[@sayedajansahadat4189]

I am here sir from Afghanistan 🇦🇫

[@iqbalalihabib5219]

What about the other leads please??!!

[@everythingpro7545]

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.
