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.

Third-degree AV Block (complete heart block)

Let’s talk about third-degree AV block (complete heart block)

Third-degree AV block (aka complete heart block) is present when the atrial impulses consistenly fail to reach the ventricles resulting in normal atrial rate and slower ventricular rate both indeprendent of each other (complete AV dissociation).

Criteria

PP and RR intervals are regular.
Atrial rate is faster than ventricular rate.
PR interval varies.
P wave may occurs before, within, or after QRS.
AV dissociation must be present (P waves are unrelated to the QRS complexes).

Possible causes: MI, Infiltrative myocardial disease (Amyloidosis, Haemochromatosis, Sarcoidosis), Lenegre’s Disease, Hyperkalemia, Digitalis toxicity, Lyme Disease, Aortic Valve Disease, others.

NOTE: The escape rhythm may arise from the AV node resulting in a narrow QRS complex (unless preexisting BBB), or from subsidiary pacemaker resulting in wide QRS complex.

Sinus tachycardia (blue arrows) with AV dissociation (P waves are unrelated to the QRS complexes), consistent with a complete or third-degree AV block.

This is a nice example of a complete AV block in the setting of RBBB. 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.
