- ECG interpretation clearly illustrated by Professor Roger Seheult, MD. This is video 1 of the MedCram ECG online course: www.medcram.co...
Learn the skills for confident EKG interpretation in an easy, step by step process. Includes:
High yield review of all ECG waves, complexes, and intervals (p waves, QRS complexes, PR interval etc.).
How to systematically read an EKG (and what a normal ECG looks like).
Key physiology of the heart related to the 12-lead ECG.
Clarification of ECG Basics: leads and vectors.
Review of common ECG paper and tracing mistakes.
Axis on ECG and precordial leads.
The autonomic nervous system and impact on the electrocardiogram.
Heart rate and automaticity related to ECG rhythms.
The R to R interval.
Rhythm, arrhythmias, and escape rhythms.
Premature beats and pauses on EKG.
Bigeminy, trigeminy, and tachyarrhythmias.
V-tach and torsades de points.
Atrial and ventricular flutter.
WPW syndrome (Wolff-Parkinson-White) and WPW pattern.
Atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation on the 12 lead ECG.
Heart blocks and escape rhythms.
Bundle branch blocks, hemiblocks, and fascicular blocks.
Hypertrophy (LVH) and atrial enlargement.
COPD, PE, Hyperkalemia, Digoxin and the EKG.
Many practice EKGs (that Dr. Seheult interprets step by step).
EKG quizzes follow each video.
Dr. Seheult is famous for his ability to explain and illustrate key concepts with just enough detail so they are understood, not memorized... You won't become overburdened with too much ECG information too quickly.
Dr. Seheult will be your step by step mentor: reinforcing key cardiac physiology, explaining abnormal findings and how they develop in the first place, the appearance of a normal EKG, and a clinical perspective of electrocardiography nuances, scenarios, and rare findings.

I've been in practice 15 years, preparing for my board recertification. In the past I prepared by re-memorizing the rhythms and 'key' ekg findings. I have never truly understood so clearly, the reasoning behind every part of the EKG, and felt so comfortable and strong in approaching every line and why it all happens. Put it this way. I put my 12 year old son to watch with me, who is just learning the very basis of molecules and electricity. He followed along the first 7 videos (about 2 hours), with minimal need for me to explain some anatomy. He was able to answer the quiz questions and showed clear understanding. Really amazing, well done. Pay more money than you think you should, and when you're done, you will feel you made a good investment. When you sign up for an account, they will likely send a small discount code as well, but even full price, completely worth it.
Thank you for the great feedback. So glad that you achieved better clarity and understanding with the course! Here is the link to the course: www.medcram.com/courses/ekg-ecg-interpretation-explained-clearly
George Valdez this is gonna help so much for the NCCT exam
I am an RN working in critical care. I LOVE your videos. Thank you for putting these out.
thank you for this video, i am a 13 yo girl and my dream is to be a cardiologist, I just finished learning about the different types of Arrhythmias and Congenital Heart Diseases so I wanted to learn how to read an EKG and this was a very helpful video!
this is helping me with my course in Sept 2023, explained here so much better than the book or the class instructor
I am in nursing school. I love the simple explanations here that reinforce what I am learning. Thank you very much.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent, if all Professors taught like you, we would be much better doctors.
This example was great I’m a 7 yr RN transitioning from Behavioral Health into Telemetry and Ortho. In nursing school I compared the heart to a car battery as well. Thank you for this expounding of the heart, also I have come to the realization of who charges the heart for each pump of blood or life that goes through our bodies....
This person is clear, helpful, and an excellent teacher. Kudos!
THANK YOU! I just started my NP practical and this was reccomended to me this was useful to help me interpet ECGs.
Best ECG course on the internet. I am so glad I ran into this video. They also provide CE certificate for RN's in California at 10 contact hours for all the video. I'd recommend you watch the whole thing. The price is nice and if you work in the Telemetry, this is a must. Will take it every year. They should advertise this! Anyway, Dr. Seheult has great voice for learning and the videos explain everything! lol. He is perfect for teaching this complex material. Kudos!
To be clear, I'm not a health professional. Just a very curious mind. But I don't think people understand how truly amazing our bodies are.
I missed the bit where it taught me how to read a 12 lead EKG systematically... what a waste of time
Totally agree
Yep
its not free of charge - you have to subscribe at their website
ua-cam.com/video/cvakivfMZYY/v-deo.html
You can simply watch ths from basic to complexcity☝️☝️
im taking my CCMA and this video is so so helpful! Especially since i havent take any previous medical courses and am learning everything for the first time! Thank you so much!
by far best EKG video out there, thank you
video starts at 2:17
Voltage is potential, the ability for current to flow if it can overcome resistance. It is similar to water in a pipe, not flowing because a tap is off. The differences in voltage is merely more or less pressure. Current is similar to opening a tap so the water flows.
Does not explain a strip.
2:15 to start!! Thank me later))
Wasn't sure when that intro was going to end...
This is an excellent coverage of the basics and other things. I really dig it. I teach this stuff and I love how you deliver it.
I’m currently in EKG class now and i find this so helpful
So are you currently working as an ekg tech? I start class tomorrow and I’m nervous because I am not good at math at all.
This has to be the best explanation I have ever heard. Thank You!
The intro is overwhelming! Don't let it discourage you! Watch the full video trust me it get easier!
I am a Cardiologist in Franfurt.Just a magnificent video!.
Beautifully and sensitively done, and aware of your audience...thank you!!!
The video is explained in such a simple way as to make it easy for a newbie to understand. Great job!
Truly the best ever concept clearing video , I've been reaching out to teachers and books and different videos to understand this since a week . I'm so confident and strong now knowing it so well .
This is the animation that helps me learn and understand antaomy where are there more resources like yours?
Excellent instructions on the heart.
Yeah man.
Mi rate to
Thank you for taking the time to teach, using digital media. Would like to see interactive sessions where members can be walked through EKG strips that are commonly found in ACLS cases.
this guy just won my heart.... :3
Bad ass video, this is literally how my brain works. i read my text book over and over and drew pictures ....still was stumped. watch this video and all my notes came together perfectly. this video was the missing puzzle pieces . loved it. sharing with all my classmates as well as my instructor so she can learn how to teach a course correctly lol
+Austin Muncrief Thanks for the kind words. We live to make those connections.
Great video! I LOVE MedCram content! I've been making similar videos, including plans to do a whole EKG series inspired by you guys. Keep up the great work, MedCram!
this is amazing, thank you so much!
Thank you! You do a very good job of explaining this process.
I've been a nurse for 12 years and i still can't wrap my head around reading ECG/EKG. It's so embarassing. Thanks for this video.
Well Explained. Thank you so much!
Awesome lecture as always! Looking forward to the next lecture.
How can I get your series up on you tube?
Thank you doc! Thanks to your video I just found out that my wife may have Pericarditis. We just got her ECG result and something seemed off. She is triple vaccinated for Covid and we had covid at the end of May. Now we have to wait and see what the doctor says. But it's extremely disappointing that they didn't flag anything from the lab.
How can anyone just say this just happened and the heart just works. Then not believe in God. The heart is just amazing it really is. The whole body is as well. Great information not a student I have defibrillator with 100% pace. I have fell in love with the heart. I get print out of my ecg every visit and I bring it home. I'd like to send it to u so u can use it for class
my entire college CET program was worthless compared to this
Amazing video thank you for sharing your knowledge
You are right! You explain it so clearly. Thank you so much!!!
Very nyc sir thnkq so much I have clear my concept only through your vedio

Rao Kaleem doesn't he..
did I miss something? This was A&P, no 12 Lead's were shown except at the beginning as a teaser
very good explanations. thank you
How do i get the complete lecture?
Fantastic. Very clear.
Thanks!
Amazing video. Thank you for this instruction.
Thank you for these videos!!!
More than the SR Calcium it is the Calcium outside the cell that is important for contractility.
thank you for the information
Very very good. Thanks alot.
sir plz upload the whole series for free ...
He says this (series) of videos, where do I find the rest? Are they for free? And is this video alone not enough for me?
Much appreciated
What does it mean to have abnormal repolarization and St depression in L4-L6 and abnormal R wave? My doctor told me it was nothing to worry about. I went in because for a few weeks I'd been really exhausted, had edema and swelling in both lower legs and feet and woke one morning with horrible chest pain, then nausea is strong I threw up, and my left arm which had been cramping for a few a few days became so weak I couldn't lift it. I fainted on on the way to the hospital. I had a negative troponin test. Only 0.015. A positive D-Dimer of 0.89 and positive NP PRO BNP of 473. They gave me maylox and told me I was fine.
Would you please post the link for the 2nd lecture about EKG? I cant find it. your videos are absolutely amazing. I have been studying with your videos support and really helps. Thank you

dear Sir, Can you help us with ECG Interpretation code, which would be applied to our ECG machine please lets us know if you can help us
This was amazing. Thank you so much.
Is there a possibility of smart meters and any RF Signals interfere with the heart rhythm? My brother is a conspiracy individual claiming smart meters may be causing my AFib. I will appreciate your medical expertise response.
if the electrical signal is strong enough yes. But 99.99% of what is available out there for plebs like us (consumers) no. It is possible to build something to cause adverse side effects to the heart. But why would you? As it is very hard to control the directional of the wireless electrical signal. Which means when activated it will affect everyone.
I am not a doctor, but from my understanding the cause of your AFib maybe due to Age, Lifestyle or Genetics (family history). Luckily this is treatable. Ask your doctor.
It may be hard to do but the quickest and simple way is control what you eat drink (cut coffee and alcohol), do some light daily excersies like walking around the block and eat more fruit and vege as well as cutting down on fats and meats. Consult your nutritionist.
Thanks for your clear explanation. Anyways, I'm watching from Philippines. If you guys wants some filipino recipes, feel free to visit us. Stay blessed 😊
This video is so great. Thank you for it. I am able to understand the basics. I wish I could watch more. I went to the site to sign up for a free trial, thinking I could watch the rest of the EKG videos and I couldn't. Your course is too expensive for a lot of medical students. It would be better if you considered a monthly subscription option. I would be able to afford paying 15 dollars every month instead of paying 500 USD at once. I barely have enough for my rent, I don't know where I could get that kind of money.
+tolu falaye the ekg course is $119 but you can probably get a further discount as they come out every so often. Watch the site for postings. Most of our videos are free but we have to make the site sustainable too as there are expenses. I’m glad you found this helpful and we hope you will get a benefit from more of our videos! A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.
We now have a monthly subscription plan. Go to Medcram.com
i am not getting another part of this lecture.please help me
Most articulate thanks for posting
Where's the next part. I couldn't find. It's heartblock after this
Any current discount going on?
Yes, we have a new subscriber discount of 30% off, just create a free MedCram.com account to access it
I did electrical muscle stimulation exercises last week for the first time. My head and eyes have been drowsy since. My eyes have a flickering with each heart beat. Blood pressure and heart rate are normal. Can the EMS system have caused a change in my EKG heart beat causing lack of blood flow to the brain.
Which video is the next in the series?
Hi Doc really good
thank you . .
does the introduction need to be 2 minutes...... so annoying
This helps so much !!!! Thank you
Can you apply certain things to pets too? Im just a vet student atm but it seems they relate. ty
Is that code for the ECG course still valid?
Very nice!
simply best!
Hi i need an explanation about easy repolarization
An honest title is "Part 1 of $120 video series"
Plz make video on internship crash course
Can somebody interpret my ECG result? I've have ECG trice but they keep on saying it's normal. But I'm still having a hard time breathing. Please respond so I can send you my ECG result. I would really appreciate if anyone help me about it. I'm scared.
Awesome !
HI Can you help me please soonest. I had a 12 lead I think ECG I had a mobile phone that was on in my trouser pocket. Can that effect the test and give a false reading. Thankyou
Mobile phones should not affect ecgs.
Thanks for your helo
amazing
lots of LOJ to go over in 14mins..hope this vid helps
does anybody who has purchased the full course tell me if it's worth it?
that's not cheap

Wow.
Good lecture, terribly misleading title. Shame.
I know that this video's not aimed at laymen, but for someone who's trying to simultaneously make sense of what what's being said and seen in the video, the near-constant animation of the heart is really distracting. Each time the animation pauses it's a relief: I can finally catch up and see what's going on, and then the thing starts up again and it's like running behind a caboose and trying to jump onto a moving train. I know I'm not the target audience; I'm just saying.
where's the EKG?
