Prominent U-wave in V2 and V3 along with the appearance of a very long QTin II, III, aVF, V4 and V5, which probably represents a fused small T-wave and ...
They are not the classic changes with Wellen's. In Wellen's you will see the beginnings of a normal looking upright T-wave in those leads and then a steep...

Did not ask about patients marital or family status. If I recall, drug use was denied. We did ask if she had any eating disorder (anorexia, bulemia, laxative...
See attached. I've heard nothing but good things about Bob Page as a lecturer, especially for specifically 12 lead/cardiology. For anyone who can't make it,...
Quite simply one of the best 12 lead lecturers out there. One of the few people I know who have lectured to Marriot (yes that one) and impressed him. And...

Hi Ya'll-- I have a question for the group. What is the role of axis in diagnosing STEMI? And what is the utility of teaching axis to paramedic students? ...
David- There isn't much role for axis in diagnosing STEMI, although there will be changes in axis as Q waves develop. One of the most common reasons for left...

I have to admit I originally ignored this post because I am not in the NY metro area (I am in MO). Upon accidently stumbling on it again, I was pleasantly...
What would the group recommend as priorities for an ER nurse when learning to read EKGs? For example: The first thing I learned about 12-leads is to look for ...
I hate to say it, but ST segment elevation is the last thing I look for. There are too many conditions that can cause ST segment elevation that have nothing to...
The main point in my mind is this: Knowledge of the ECG electrical axis is *routinely* not of any value. But, it's not all that hard to understand............ ...
My reply to this (and compared to many in this group I'm an amateur ECG reader) is: Try to make your own ECG interpretation prior to anyone else. Find an ECG ...
Hank, I had a patient with an ECG just like that the other day that one of my junior doctors was discussing with me. He told me that the ECG was "normal". I...
I agree with Tom. An important feature of 12-lead interpretation that is often lost by folks, is that a 12-lead is a snapshot of things occuring at that very...
I have attended his lectures several times and found them to be both entertaining and informative. (I also bought his book to review the information) If he is...
Sorry, Hank. She just joined the EKG Club today. The author has been banned from the list and the thread will be deleted from the archives. Tom P.S. I know I...
Attached is a 12 lead ECG (obviously) that I obtained May 13th. The patient was a 62 year old male working in the tire shop at Wal-Mart. He verbalized no...
Curtis, I could be way off-base, but it looks almost exactly like the strips they showed us in class for 60 hertz interference. I'm guessing either it was...
I agree with that. The high frequency (low pass) filter was set at 150 Hz. If this happens again, I would recommend switching to 0.05-40 Hz for diagnostic mode...
This is more like somatic artifact (such as tremor, poorly prepared skin - try sand paper and soap and water to clear oils) or lead/wire/patch artifact. 60 Hz...
