1) Watch Your Ps, Qs, 3Rs (Systematic Approach to Rhythm Interpretation! )
- In this 2:30-minute video (67MB- mp4– 10/27/2025) — I quickly review my user-friendly Systematic Approach to rhythm interpretation that will: i) Speed Up your interpretations; ii) Increase your accuracy; — and, iii) Narrow your differential diagnosis, as well as allowing you to sound intelligent — even if you are not certain what the rhythm is.

2) Estimating Heart Rate, including when the rate is very Fast! (by Ken Grauer — from the Augst 13, 2025 post).
- I begin this 3-minute video with the basics for how to estimate the rate of any fast or slow rhythm.
- NOTE: For review on how to estimate fast heart rates — Skip to 1:25 minutes in this video, when I show how quickly and accurately apply the Every-other-Beat Method!

3) This 2:30 minutes video is from the XXXXX post (WCT in an 85yo) — in which I illustrate use of the Every-other-Beat Method for rapid estimation of fast heart rates — and beginning at 1:05 minutes in the video, How to look for 2:1 flutter waves (XX MB- mp4– 10/28/2025).

4) User-Friendly Approach to ECG Dx of Bundle Branch Blocks! (How to Dx the BBBs in seconds! ).
- In this 13-minute video (90MB- mp4) — I simplify rapid diagnosis of the type of Bundle Branch Block by focus on the 3 KEY Leads ( = leads I,V1,V6 ) — allowing you to distinguish between LBBB vs RBBB vs IVCD in less than 5 seconds!

5) The “Whys” of Aberrant Conduction
- In this 4:45 Minutes video (63 MB- mp4) — I review WHY some early beats and some SVT rhythms are conducted with Aberration (and why the most common form of aberrant conduction manifests RBBB morphology).
- NOTE: In addition to QRS morphology and the coupling interval of early beats — is the effect of the R-R interval preceding the wide beat (which with bradycardia, predisposes to aberrant conduction by prolonging the refractory period of the next beat). I review this important additional concept with my user-friendly approach to the Ashman phenomenon (See My Comment at the bottom of the page in the September 16, 2024 post in Dr. Smith’s ECG Blog).

6) Laddergram Basics (How to quickly learn to read a Laddergram )
Learning to draw Laddergrams is challenging. I fully acknowledge that it took me significant time until I felt comfortable with this skill. That said — learning to read laddergrams is EASY — and important for enhancing your understanding of more complex arrhythmias.
- I cover the basics of what a laddergram is in the 5-minute ECG Video below. With this as introduction — you should be able to understand the mechanism portrayed in most laddergrams you will see (85MB- mp4) .
- NOTE: You do not need to know how to draw laddergrams in order to attain excellence in arrhythmia interpretation — BUT — Becoming comfortable in reading laddergrams will be invaluable for taking you to your next level!

7) The 3 Types of AV Dissociation vs Complete AV Block:
- In this 4:45 minutes video (54 MB– mp4) — I review the 3 Causes of AV Dissociation and distinguish between AV Dissociation vs Complete AV Block.
