Learning cardiac axis interpretation can be tedious.

I have created an open source webapp hosted on CardiacAxis.com. Here you will be able to analyse in English and German the ECG variations with axis deviation.

The Axis trainer online is interactive and the arrow can be moved to demonstrate each of the specific QRS complex changes. Bookmark to your phone homepage and try it out for yourself. Below is a quick demonstration through 360 degrees…

ECG Interpretation: The Basics

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Part one of a 5 part lecture series on the basics of ECG/EKG Interpretation with Dr Theo Sklavos and cardiologist A/Prof William Wang. This lecture series is aimed primarily at medical/nursing/paramedicine students and junior trainees, but will hopefully be useful as a refresher course for those with previous experience.

The Basics

In this first video we walk you through every aspect of the basics of the ECG including:

Describe the parts of the ECG
Rate, rhythm, axis
P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST-segment, T wave, QT interval
Identify the features of a normal ECG

Who is SAM?

As a routine part of ECG analysis, we need to determine the ECG AXIS. It isn’t really enough to just whimper… “Is it normal?” So, to help understand axis a tiny bit…I need to introduce you to SAM – the Super Axis Man

Building SAM – the Super Axis Man

(1) Draw a circle and put SAMs head on the top.

Note: SAM is smiling today because he is learning something…
