We have now rolled out a new version of the ECG Guru!  Nothing is lost, but much more new content to come.  Our primary goal is still to provide teaching materials to instructors who teach ECG and cardiac topics.   All our materials are free and free of copyright, and may be reproduced for purposes of teaching and learning.  In addition, we know that many students and practitioners come to the Guru for information.  We have many Gurus out there who participate on our Ask the Expert page, our Forum, and our Facebook site to help spread information.  You will find links on the Guru to many wonderful websites and blogs.  If you can't find what you are looking for on the Guru, you will find it at one of these links.

By now you have seen our newest addition to the ECG Guru, Jason Roediger's Blog.  Jason is an amazing ECG Guru, who has a special talent for unraveling difficult dysrhythmias.  He is especially good at explaining these rhythms to the rest of us, and is a master at using laddergrams.  Once you get used to looking at laddergrams, they will help you see the mechanisms behind complex dysrhythmias.  Jason is a highly-respected cardiovascular technician at a large medical center. He holds numerous certifications in all levels of ECG interpretation, and is "famous" for scoring 100% on the Level IV Advanced ECG Board Certification exam, which is usually reserved for cardiologists!  We feel so fortunate to have his blog: "ECG Challenge of the Week" on the Guru, as he gives our members a chance to exercise their interpretive skills on interesting ECGs.  In addition, Jason is providing a monthly "Errors Blog", where he presents an ECG that has been published elsewhere with the wrong interpretation.  We hope members of the ECG Guru will find it fun and informative to interact with Jason on these two blogs.

We have always provided an "ECG of the WEEK" to assist instructors in building their portfolios of ECGs to teach from.  These are archived on the site.  We are now calling the "ECG of the WEEK" the "Instructors' Collection".  Here you will find ECGs that include very simple and common findings as well as ECGs which illustrate more advanced concepts.  The interpretation, and what is known of the patient, are given with the ECG, along with teaching tips.  Members are encouraged to add their comments to assist other teachers. Each ECG of the WEEK is added to the archives at the end of the week.  We have a new taxonomy system, which will allow you to search the key terms you see in the left column of the page.  You may not find some of our older ECGs this way - just use the SEARCH feature for the term you are looking for.

Thanks for helping the ECG Guru become a leading resource for ECG Instructors.  Please let us know what content you would like to see on our site. You can email at [email protected] .
