In this foundational cardiovascular physiology lecture, Professor Zach Murphy introduces the basics of ECG (EKG) interpretation, providing the essential building blocks for understanding how to analyze a 12-lead ECG. This session is perfect for students just starting out or anyone looking to strengthen their grasp of cardiac electrophysiology. We begin by reviewing the components of the ECG waveform—including the P wave, QRS complex, ST segment, and T wave—and explain what each represents in terms of cardiac depolarization and repolarization. You’ll also learn about lead placement, the standard 12-lead setup, and how different leads correspond to different anatomical regions of the heart. This lecture lays the groundwork for recognizing normal intervals, heart rate, and rhythm, serving as a stepping stone for more advanced ECG topics like arrhythmias, ischemia, and conduction blocks. 📌 UPDATED ECG Basics Lecture → https://youtu.be/CNN30YHsJw0 We highly recommend watching this newer version for the most up-to-date visuals, clinical examples, and improved teaching flow.
