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.

First-degree AV Block

Let’s talk about first-degree, AV block.

First-degree AV block is characterized by a prolonged PR interval in the setting of sinus rhythm, but all impulses are conducted.

Criteria

Sinus rhythm
PR interval >0.20 sec.

Possible causes: Normal variant, increased vagal tone, athletes, inferior myocardial infarction, status post cardiac surgery, myocarditis, hyperkalemia, drug induced (beta-blockers, calcium channel blocks, adenosine, digitalis, and amiodarone). Additionally infiltrative heart diseases, neuromuscular disorders and Lyme disease have been identified as causes of first-degree AV block.

NOTE: For some authors, a first-degree AV block is not really a block, but rather a delay in conduction.

NOTE: The isolated finding of this type of "block" may not clinically significant.

NOTE: Sometimes the PR interval is as long as 1.0 second and can exceed the PP interval, a condition termed skipped P waves.

NOTE: Marked first-degree AV block can reduce cardiac output and may not be well tolerated, especially in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

Marked first-degree AV block with PR interval of 520 ms.

First-degree AV block in the setting of inferior acute MI.
