This first episode focuses 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.

In the second episode, I talk about the principles of recording ECGs and the differences between the different leads on a 12-lead ECG. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/7DAJp-K8qAU

I'd also like to mention that my favorite EKG book is called "The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need" by Dr Thaler (9th edition, 2018, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins) - No financial connection.
