ECGs - How they work

A simple explanation of how ECGs, or electrocardiographs, are captured. I've tried to make it easy to understand, but if you have any questions please chuck them in the comments below.
This is part 1 of a forthcoming series - part 2 will explain how to read an ECG.

[@thecerebrum.]

This is the best video for ecg on TH-cam. Period.

[@jay9204]

Thank you for being a better teacher than our so called "highly trained" professors.

[@vitoriaferreira6740]

oh gosh, yes!

[@VictorSantos-ze3ek]

I dont understand why their like that

[@aishwaryapradeep7966]

Amazing 3D representation that made the content very simple to understand, never seen anyone explain this topic so effectively , well done.

[@neharao9939]

Your channel is the best medicine content channel on TH-cam. Truly appreciate all the effort that goes behind every video and building the 3D models on your website!!
You are honestly a great teacher Ruben!!
So blessed to have you :)

[@kevina5018]

ok this is one of the best videos about this theme i have ever seen, i m an italian med student and this was really helpful thank you so much.

[@ZoubiMed]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful channel! I'm so glad to have found you, Dr!

[@martindagnev8821]

Ive watched the whole youtube and all my lectures and this is by faaar the best and most intuitive explanation of ECG ive seen. Great job!

[@middleearth4841]

That was amazing! You do a great job of making complicated topics easy to understand. The 3D models have changed the game!

[@shoaax5461]

Perfectly simple, great job

[@LM-ek6qo]

Man, you don't know what I would give for you to be the teacher in my med school. Good video

[@postmortem495]

This is realy nice explanation . The most of the educators don't tell how it's works .

[@ivo3185]

As always, incredibly informative, educational and clear! Thank you

[@harshilk1859]

[@peachettte]

Wow! This was incredibly well explained, simple enough but thorough nonetheless. Thank you endlessly from a vet student! :)

[@christapenman4240]

Thank you for this video! I’m just starting a cardiac physiology course. This was so insightful. Thank you!!

[@CesarAHaro]

Dude the 3 view animation of the the precordial leads was awesome. It makes so much sense now.

[@thot1394]

This was beautifully explained and illustrated

[@mookfaru835]

Wow what simplification. Great job!

[@lavieestdrole3793]

This video saved my life thank u

[@anna-eq4kx]

Thank you so much! You explained it so simply and the animation was great and very helpful. Thank you so much. Now I can read in my textbook and it actually makes sense.

[@pavanbevoor8636]

Thank u so much dr.

Absolutely beautiful

[@akramqasim8598]

Amazing, precise information thx a lot waiting for secound video

[@savierosj74]

It's amazing that how much easy one cam represent ECG like you.
You are doing a great job reuben!
I have sent you an e-mail.
If you're free,please do try to respond.
Loving your work!

[@hananmohamed9302]

Thank you so much

[@avishkamalinda6359]

great video

[@train4905]

Exellent😊

[@neharao9939]

Kindly consider making a 3d modle of the nasal cavity, especially the lateral wall, containing the middle meatus, infundibulum, hiatus semilunaris, bulla ethmoidalis, lamina papyracea, and osteomeatal complex .
I have never understood all of these

[@mananchawda]

i love your videos so much !! can you please make a video explaining arteries of the pelvis ....

[@user-et2wo2eg9l]

thanks alot for that amazing illustration. Could you tell me which textbook mention ECG in that brilliant way,please?
Thanks alot.

[@ivo3185]

Incredible video! I wouldn't have been able to understand the ECG without it.
I was wondering if you could explain the pterygopalatine fossa in the future?

[@aboutmedicine]

Great idea. I’ll get on it as soon as possible 🙏

[@ivo3185]

@@aboutmedicine Thank you so much! Love your channel.

[@zuperman11]

Awesome.

[@user-ul2sd8yc3g]

Thank you so much, one question, in 5:08 you said that the right bundle of His depolarizes before the left bundle, isn’t the left one depolarizes first ?

[@lonewolfe2502]

No, I think you're right. That's what I red too.

[@chandrashekaras1856]

When will you upload part2

[@texastexas4541]

Can you please explain how electricity flows from the skin to electrodes (ECG) to make electrons move in the wire? Is it the electric field or some electrons jump from the skin surface move into the wire?

[@StrsAmbrg]

What is inside the silver probe? Just a kind of flat surface metal, or a kind of coil forming an inductor/magnetic antenna?

[@muhammadqureshi5271]

Legend

[@saimsiddiqui9893]

This is how you explain in detail, loved the way you explained why there is a negative drop for Q and S wave. Like and subscribe from me 👍

[@Mavihs27]

Part 2?

[@palwashaumar8257]

Can you explain why is the repolarisation T wave gives positive deflection on ecg?

[@bobeighteen]

5:30

[@hariomtripathi3345]

When will next video come

[@AbhishekSingh-lu8tw]

make video of Electroretinigraphy, electroculography, Visually evoked potential

[@ericchin739]

I mean, are these machines reading mV signals??!
How does the machine pick up such small electrical signals and not pick up noise from say.... power outlets in the doctor office?!

[@literallynobody1480]

vay be anladım

[@Ranjankumar-gr8is]

Why don't you put 3D videos of thorax and abdomen

[@petrnovak1964]

those bloody "djing cells"

[@dilishjoylobo3834]

You got the entire sign convention of the current wrong.
