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 AV Dissociation.

AV (atrioventricular) dissociation is often misunderstood or misused term because is not an arrhythmia. AV Dissociation is a condition whereby the atria and the ventricles activate independently of each other. The ventricular rate is usually slower then the atrial rate.

AV dissociation may be classified as follows:

AV dissociation by default: when the rate of the dominant atrial pacemaker slows down, the subsidiary pacemaker (AV node) takes over. Conditions include: Sick sinus syndrome, sinus arrest, post-cardioversion, high vagal tone, others.
AV dissociation by usurpation: When the rate of the subsidiary pacemaker increases above the intrinsic atrial rate. Conditions include: Digitalis toxicity, myocardial ischaemia, junctional or ventricular tachycardia, others.

Note: Isorhythmic AV dissociation is considered when both atrial and ventricular rates are approximately the same, resulting in apparent association of the rhythms, but the PR intervals vary slightly. See case A66 of our Volumen II.

Sinus rhythm (blue arrows) with varying PR intervals (green arrows) and a slow regular ventricular rate consistent with AV dissociation and complete or third degree AV block.

What type of AV dissociation is present in this EKG? What else do you see? More cases available in EKGDX.

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.
