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.

Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia

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

Let’s talk about multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT).

MAT is a rapid, irregular atrial rhythm, characterized by at least three or more consecutive ectopic P waves with different morphology, due a multiple ectopic foci within the atria.

Criteria

≥3 consecutive ectopic P waves with different morphology.
Atrial rate >100 bpm.
PP, PR and RR intervals are irregular.

Note the consecutive ectopic P waves with different morphology with irregular PP, RR and PR intervals and atrial rate >100 bpm.

Same rhythm strip with graphical explanation.

Note the different morphologies of the P waves (blue arrows) with irregular PP, PR and RR intervals.

Illustration.

Possible causes: Commonly seen in patients with COPD or congestive heart failure, cronary artery disease, chronic renal failure, major surgery, electrolyte abnormalities including hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, drugs such as aminophylline, theophylline and isoproterenol.

NOTE: MAT is a poor prognostic sign in the setting of an acute illness.

NOTE: MAT is the second most commonly misdiagnosed atrial arrhythmia. The key to diagnostic is to analyse lead V1 for the presence of atrial activity and lead II for the variable P waves morphology.

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.
