EKGDX is the only software in the world capable of generating any twelve-lead EKG with a format identical to the real ones. It is considered the best EKG simulator ever. The educational part of the platform is focused on interactive learning, combined with graphic explanations and clinical-anatomical correlation. It is a superb addition to the library of every medical student, nurse, intern, resident, physicians in practice, cardiology fellows that are interested in improving their interpretation of EKGs and preparing for board examinations.

How much does EKGDX cost?

EKGDX contains Volume I and II. Volume I is $9.99/month (subscription) and Volume II is $59.99 for 6 months access.

What the EKG DX name means?

The initial idea was to develop an artificial intelligence (still in development) that diagnoses any type of EKG. That is why we decided the name EKGDX. EKG stands for electrocardiogram and DX stands for diagnosis. The decision of the "K" in the word EKG, is in honor of Wilhelm Einthoven.

How does EKGDX differ from other books?

Currently, most physicians, nurses and students experience problems when performing an adequate interpretation of an EKG, and this is due to several factors. To solve this GLOBAL problem, we created an interactive and didactic tool that facilitates the learning process in a different way.

Let’s talk about atrial flutter.

Atrial flutter is an arrhythmia resulting from reentry in a macroreentrant circuit, most commonly in the right atrium. It is characterized by regular atrial activity with “sawtooth” appearance.

Criteria

Atrial rate usually 300/min (usual range 250-350 bpm).
“F” waves with “sawtooth” appearance, best seen in inferior leads and V1.
Absence of baseline.
PR interval unmeasurable.

Same rhythm strip with graphical explanation.

Note the negative fluter waves (F waves) with AV conduction ratio of 2:1 and ventricular rate of ~150 bpm.

Atrial Flutter

Another example with clear F waves.

Atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction.

NOTE: Odd ratios (1:1, 3:1, 5:1) are really uncommon.

NOTE: Atrial flutter is probably the most overlooked arrhythmia.

NOTE: The most common AV ratio is 2:1, resulting in a ventricular rate of ~150 bpm.

NOTE: Atrial flutter can be typical or atypical depending on whether the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) participates or not in the reentrant circuit.

NOTE: Atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction and wide QRS is rare but often mistaken for ventricular tachycardia.

NOTE: Atrial flutter may presents with variable AV conduction, particularly after receiving cardiac medications.

Possible causes: The same as for atrial fibrillation.

Do you want to practice with complex EKGs?

If you are a cardiology fellow who needs to practice for the ABIM cardiology board or you are someone who wants to practice with complex 12-lead EKGs, our Volume II is what you need.
