ECG/EKG Interpretation Tutorial - Episode 1 - Basic Principles

Thanks for watching this first episode of a large ECG Interpretation course! Links to many others below! By the end of this master course tutorial series, you will be able to read ECGs with the best of them. In this first episode, I focus on the basics of the ECG paper, the waves and complexes, the segments and intervals, and the names of the different deflections seen on ECG tracings. Enjoy! (At about 6:49, I misspoke and accidentally said right ventricle instead of atrium; sorry about that!) Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe, like, and share!
