This ECG is from a man in his 60s who presented with intermittent shortness of breath and chest pressure over the past few days. This was his initial ECG.

Arrhythmia? Ischemia? Both? Electricity, drugs, lytics, cath lab? You decide.

This ECG shows a regular narrow complex tachycardia around 200 bpm, without P waves, with marked ST elevation in inferior leads and ST depression in anterior leads and aVL. The cause was thought to be atrial flutter from newly started flecainide. He also underwent angiography and had stents inserted to the left circumflex and right coronary arteries.

This is a library of 2359 free, open access, re-usable ECGs from across the web.

Where did they come from?

These ECGs were collected from Free Open Access Medical Education (#FOAMed) blogs, with the permission of their authors.

Why are they here?

This is an experiment in digital curation. The idea is to collect resources to increase awareness and accessibility. Over time, more ECGs in the collection will be tagged to make it easier to find them and reused in new interactive quizzes.

How can I use these ECGs?

You can use these ECGs for your own learning, teaching or research - as long as you abide by the terms of each ECG's copyright licence as stipulated by the original author.
