    Hi, I'm a paramedic student and I found this video very informing. Helped a lot with understanding just the basics of a NSR. Would love to hear more from you about understanding Axis determination.

    Thanks, Jonathan! I’ll definitely be doing more on axis. Good luck with the remainder of your paramedic education.

    When I was 18, I had low amplitude "garbage" instead of the QRS complex in lead III. I couldn't understand what was that, but... it was simply an electric axis close to +30 degrees. Later the axis slightly shifted right and lead III became positive.

    By the way, in Russian sources the PR interval is always called PQ independently of the presence of a Q wave.

    Most helpful I am studying for my EKG tech so how would a EKG work and a minor’s heart or a baby in rare cases. I would like to know on all patients not just adults.

    great video!!!! I'm a paramedic in Taiwan, I think paramedics in Taiwan are not good at 12 lead ECG. May I translate these video into chinese? And I argee that normal is the most difficult diagnosis!

    I totally agree that normal is the worst to diagnose! I’m always nervous to be like “yea that’s perfect!” Cause I feel like I’ve missed something lol
