12Lead ECG Basics

>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=YE-Epm8nsh0

A video designed to create a foundation of understanding of the 12-lead ECG in pre-health profession freshman and sophomore students. This video should not be considered clinically relevant, rather I hope it serves as a basis for understanding the biophysics of ECG recordings so that the interested student can use it to further develop their understanding of ECGs. Simplifications, such as where atrial repolarization is detected are used in hopes that a minor sacrifice in technical accuracy facilitates a greater increase in overall understanding. Discussion of the validity of that sacrifice are welcome in the comments and will not be altered or censored. Relevant topics covered will be an introduction, possible diagnoses, cardiac conduction cycle, Einthoven's triangle, how ECG leads detect the voltage changes in the conduction cycle, a basic understanding of leads I, II, and III, augmented leads, QRS axis, precordial leads, and a return to diagnoses using http://www.ecglibrary.com.
