How difficult are the ECG's on the Step 1 exam ---> Is FA and BRS Physio sufficient to do well or are we expected to know the various complicated patterns associated with various cardiac diseases in each of the leads?

Thanks

ECGs on Step I are a snap, very classic patterns that a monkey could recognize.

As for each lead, I doubt they would ask you specific disease states. However, they might give you a question with Einthoven's triangle, tell you that a cardiac vector is positive in Lead I, and negative in Lead II, and ask you to pick out the right diagram
