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.

Focal Atrial Tachycardia

Name: EKGDX
Brand: EKGDX
Rating: 5 (13 reviews)

Let’s talk about focal atrial tachycardia.

Focal atrial tachycardia is characterized by at least three or more consecutive ectopic P waves with similar morphology, usually arising from a single ectopic focus.

Criteria

≥3 consecutive similar ectopic P waves (usually inverted in inferior leads).
Atrial rate >100 bpm.
QRS usually narrow unless pre-existing BBB or aberrant conduction.

Note the inverted P waves with similar morphology and atrial rate of 160 bpm and PR interval >110 msec (0.11 sec).

Same rhythm strip with graphical explanation.

Illustration.

Possible causes: Drug abuse, digoxin toxicity, hypoxia, catecholamine release, alcohol, exercise, congenital heart disease, others.

NOTE: Focal atrial tachycardia with AV block is usually mistaken for atrial flutter.

NOTE: The ventricular rate may varies, depending on AV nodal conduction.

NOTE: Sometimes atrial tachycardia is mistaken for junctional tachycardia when the retrograde P waves appear before the QRS (negative P wave). If the PR interval >0.11 sec. indicates atrial focus, if the PR interval <0.11 sec. indicates junctional origin.

NOTE: A negative P wave in leads I and aVL suggests left atrial origin.

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.
