The Wonderful World of EKGs
Or, the things they didn't really teach you that you're expected to know for the floors...
What are the goals of this site...?
This site is intended to fill the void between the basics of electrocardiologic monitoring taught in the first and second years of medical school and the information that students are expected to know on the floors...
To explain what an EKG tracing is really recording (why normal is normal)...
To identify the parameters of a normal EKG; step-by-step EKG evaluation...
To provide a library and overview of common conditions which have EKG findings...
Just a note (for best viewing)...
This site is best viewed with a frames capable browser. It's just too time intensive to build a site that frames-unaware folks can use. Also, this site is best viewed with the window size fairly large (like 9"x6" or more...). You may feel that turning off the toolbar, location, and directory buttons in Netscape or similar activities in MS Internet Explorer or other browsers may aid in viewing this site...
Just a disclaimer...
I'm just a "lowly" fourth year student at the Medical College of Pennsylvania, now the Allegheny University of the Health Sciences. (If you have a free decade, I can explain the name change). I have tried to cite references where I have found them, but cannot swear to the accuracy of the infomation included. This is to be used as a teaching tool only, not as a means to clarify the clinical status of a patient. Thank you...
Please feel free to email, although using the "Provide feedback to the site author" button to the left is actually niftier...David Gelman, gelman@auhs.edu
