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 PR Interval and Segment.

The PR interval represents the time between the onset of atrial depolarization and the onset of ventricular depolarization and reflects conduction through the AV node.

PR Interval

✅ Normal PR interval: 0.12 - 0.20 sec.
✅ Prolonged PR interval: >0.20 sec.
✅ Short PR interval: <0.12 sec.

The term “PQ interval” is preferred by some EKG lover because it is the period actually measured unless the Q wave is absent.

PR segment

The PR segment is the segment (forgive the redundancy) between the end of the P wave and the start of the QRS complex. Under normal circumstances is usually isolectric.

PR segment elevation

It is considered when ≥0.5 mm.

Causes of PR segment elevation: Atrial ischaemia/infarction, myopericarditis, PE, others.

PR segment depression

It is considered when ≥0.8 mm.

Causes of PR segment depression: Pericardial effusion, atrial ischemia/infarction, myopericarditis, pulmonary embolism, others.

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.
