Good EKG websites?

[Paws]

Anyone have any good websites for reading ekg's? I didn't like Dubin's book so much, thought I'd see what other people used.

Go find a paramedic. Or ask a nearby hospital EMS department staff what they use. Usually you'll find they teach from photocopies, hand-typed "pearls", and lots and lots of practice strips. I found this FAR better than any EKG book. Barring the time availabilities for practice strips, you can certainly get a crash course and a flow-chart type analysis for EKGs in less than 4 hours that will enable you to recognize most "bad" rhythms -- anything else you can say "gee, i dunno, but it's not normal and looks bad.....". Word: learn what's normal first. Then everything else is abnormal (not kidding here.)

Anyone else with better quick learning advice?

This is the best EKG website I have found. It's probably more case-based than you were looking for but definitely different/supplemental to Dubin however. I would say that in general the understanding that a text like Dubin gives is superior to just being able to ID the 'bad' rhythms. It's one thing to say that there is a bypass tract or VTach, but you can localize those lesions anatomically with the surface EKG if you know how it correlates to structure/function.

Thanks guys, SDN comes through once again!! 🙂

I might try Dubin's again but these should get me started. Hope others can benefit from this list as they hit the wards too!

Unsure if this is still an open conversation but one super helpful page that helped me was https://ekg.academy/ (it looks like it needs a ".com" after it but it doesn't).

I like that site because it has lessons, definitions as well as practice problems and even a practice 12 lead.

also ECG | EKG | Heart Sounds | Murmurs | Lung Sounds has a good section on EKG.

Hope this helps!
