  • CORRECTION: 2:26 The summary should read Lead I negative and aVF positive for RAD. The audio and graphic are correct.

  • As a new and unexperienced nurse I always feel kind of lost and gives me anxiety not being able to understand a basic EKG, but for the first time I found this info so clear, that with little study and practice I will be able to identify anomalies. Thanks so much for this video, already subscribed to the channel, very good topics in it.
