EKG Interpretation...


Since the inception of my heart condition and subsequent device implant I’ve tried to educate myself as to the ins and outs of my condition.

So with that in mind, have you ever had an EKG and wonder just what it all means? Well I have and I don’t think I’m alone.

I know there are several folks here that can interpret an EKG better than the physician they’re paying to do it. Most of us however are not that fortunate and need a little help.

I found a three part video series that gives a good basic understanding of EKG interpretation along with some other valuable information.

They are about 30 minutes total but well worth your time and can be found here:

Great Resource

Thanks, Chip, for this resource. I was just trying to explain a little about my pacemaker at a party yesterday afternoon, and I had to gloss over the EKG readings, and how the doctor knew I had complete heart block. Now I have a better understanding, and better way to explain. Thanks again!

Thank you Chip

The part about atrial fibrillation and flutter was very interesting since that is what I have. I will be showing this to other people.

I'll check it out. No matter how much I think I know about such things I always learn a lot.
