“Jerry W. Jones, MD FACEP FAAEM is pleased to announce the move from LinkedIn to his ECG education website: https://medicusofhouston.com/ . Join him there for his popular twice weekly posts on ECG topics for beginners through advanced and announcements regarding his Masterclasses and book releases.” I want to thank all of you for your interest in my teaching and in electrocardiography. I hope to see you in one of my Masterclasses soon! And I hope to hear from you in my new location! Jerry W. Jones, MD FACEP FAAEM
Welcome to Dr. Andreas Roeschl, who is a cardiologist and ECG instructor in Germany. He will have a recurring blog on the Guru, contributing his knowledge about ECG and teaching, along with ECGs from his collection. His ECGs are digitized and beautiful quality for reproduction, and his contributions will be a great asset to any student or teacher of ECG. Dr. Ken Grauer and I want you to feel free to ask us and Dr. Roeschl any questions you have about ECG or teaching ECG. That is the mission of this website - to make it easier for instructors to teach.
Hi, everyone! Happy Winter holidays. We are so happy you are here. We have one BIG REQUEST that would make the ECG Guru team so happy. We would love to hear your comments and field your questions! There is a "Comments" section below each piece of content.
This ECG Guru website exists for the purpose of sharing teaching resources with anyone who teaches ECG or Cardiology classes. It can be difficult to find non-copyrighted and free images to use in presentations. Often, those resources that are available are too small to reproduce well for a handout or projector. Our website seeks to fill this gap to make it easier for more people all over the world to receive ECG education.
Those of you who have followed the ECG Guru for a while are very familiar with the work of Dr. Ken Grauer, M.D. He is a generous contributer to the ECG Guru website, and functions as our official Consulting Expert. He has published many books and e-publications which are (in our opinion) some of the BEST ECG references available, and he has worked hard to keep them low priced to make them available to all of us. He also offers seemingly endless ECG knowledge and insights for FREE, via this website, his own website, and social media.
A laddergram is a diagram of conduction through the heart, presented in a minimum of three tiers, one for the atria, one for the AV junction, and one for the ventricles. Laddergrams are very useful for presenting and testing your theory of a dysrhythmia. Instructors often use them to illustrate complex dysrhythmia mechanisms.
If you are a teacher, watching a masterful teacher present your topic can help you develop your style, and increase your own knowledge of your subject. We don't all have the opportunity to attend live classes by the real ECG Gurus of the world, but many of them are now making FREE video lectures available to all of us. Even if you are not an instructor, for many of us, hearing and seeing the presentation is a more effective way to learn than just reading.
