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 U waves.

The U wave is a deflection (usually small) immediately following the T wave.

The U wave is usually absent. When is present, it’s best seen in V2-V3.

The U wave can be:

✅ Positive: upright with amplitude <1.5 mm.
✅ Prominent: upright with amplitude >1.5 mm.
✅ Inverted or negative.

Positive (upright) U wave

Causes of prominent U wave include: hypokalemia, antiarrhythmic drugs, bradyarrhythmias, hypothermia, hypocalcemia, coronary artery disease, MI, others.

Prominent U wave

Causes of inverted U wave include: myocardial ischemia, LVH, RVH, anoxic brain injury. Exercise-induced inversion of the U-wave is highly predictive of significant coronary artery disease, others.

Inverted (negative) U wave

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.
