Thank you so much for the video i have afib after the pzizer jabs was ok before also i have a racing heart which i take tablets for do i have to take these tablets for my lifetime?? Much appreciated from the uk patricia
Thanks god bless
Thank you so much for detailed information.
My watch is showing a picture perfect graph. Thank you heart.
very detail and good education for us. Tks Dr
WOW, that was fabulous! Are both the Samsung and Apple watches equal in their capabilities?
Great info.
Outstanding.
For a non professional, that was great. I have AFib, Aflutter, SVT, and PVC’s and this explanation of AFib on an ECG was very good. I have been using an Apple Watch for at home ECG’s for years and my cardiologist trusts it. I have sent him ECG reports a few times and it helps to figure out what I should do when I am having issues. Thanks for that explanation and the support for consumer grade cardiac health technologies.
Thanks for watching. The full ECG Explained Clearly video series by Dr. Seheult is available here: https://www.medcram.com/courses/ekg-ecg-interpretation-explained-clearly
Thanks for the explanations. Very interesting.
I have had and been treated for both Afib and a fast running heart. Have had ablation done 4 times with the final result being unable to reach the issue on the left side. currently on medication which has been for the most part successful. I just wanted to pass on that this video has been the best explained i have ever seen. I wish i had seen this in the beginning to completely understand how it all works. Thank you so much for sharing this !
Such a great explanation! Thanks!
Can I set up to alert you if your heart rate goes up, for example at night time , when sleeping?!!! I am looking to find something for my mother in law, hear heart beat or blood pressure goes up especially when she is sleeping, sometimes she won’t even sleep it.
Problem is stress and position, while getting results I got stressed and sometime my hands start shaking and thay gives fals AFib. From 10 out of 1 or 2 are afib rest are sinus rhythm. Plus steady position is must too otherwise your qrs might go up n down and will give you afib..
Does any of these show RBBB or LBBB?
If the watch alerts you to AFib, would taking nitroglycerin under the tongue help?
Which is the best watch for this use?
Thank you for your great video! it is cool. there is a professional "Apple Watch ECG Pro" analysis app in my channel.
Top stuff. Excellent explanation
Too bad the Apple Watch ECG only works above 50 bpm heart rate. With my <40bpm resting rate no reading is possible. At least I can use the Kardia device and my cell phone which works well for Bradycardia.
Thank you for this very clear explanation of heart function and ECG EKG. I had an annual physical recently and my P wave and QRS wave look good, it looks like my T wave is inverted and I am just hoping the nurse did not have the sensor correct on my body. The Dr circled the T wave and compared it to my EKG from six years ago and said nothing had changed, but she wants me to take a stress test and see the cardiologist. Any idea on T wave shape and what that might indicate?
I am thinking of getting a smartwatch that has this feature, for i suffer from atrial fibrillation and i was told this could be a valuable tool.
Problem is i don’t like smartwatches in general. Is there one that can pass for a true watch without looking so techy?
Excellent video! Wish these existed when i was young I would have gone into medicine.
What a great explanation! Thank you!
Thanks ! I now understand more about the ECG on my Apple Watch… I’m planning to upgrade to the latest watch since mine was able to detect Atrial Fibrillation a few times recently. I’ve seen a cardiologist and was put on a holter monitor and the results were okay but atrial fibrillation probably appears when I’m super fatigued
Very informative for layman like me, now I know littkbit how to read ECG on watch.
What if the watch is worn on right hand? Does that mean its reading lead II?
Brilliant explanation thank you.
Is there a way to avoid getting a pacemaker?
Best explanation ever !
Fantastic vid o
Thank you for detailed and organized explanation. I have learned so much from this. Despite not being from the medical background, I look forward to checking out more videos from your channel. Please keep up the amazing work.
The video is excellent. I can also thank the smart watch that I am better now. Due to the recordings on the smart watch, they noticed the sick sinus disease in me. I currently wear a pacemaker and am much better. Greetings from Hungary! 🥰
Thanks for your explanation..very easy to understand…even far more information of the smart watch ecg as it suppose
Thank you very much Doctor for excellent explanation 🪻
I loved this video doctor. the explanations were detailed and thorough. I gave me some thought on how to manage my own heart abberations…if and when they may appear …and if i have a smart watch that detects them I could seek medical advice immediately when any anomaly is reported.
I know the smart watch feature is a crude hit-or-miss tool at best, but at least I have that available….
Thank you doctor.
how do you use this to see sympathetic dominance vs parasympathetic dominance ? tkx
I now have a better understanding of my Afib.
Thank you so much for this video. I have AFib and I have several episodes every day. I’ve had it for 10 years and suffered a stroke as well as limited ability to perform daily activities. It happens suddenly and often times for no apparent reason. I learned more about the hearts natural and AFib rhythms from this short video than I have from my own doctors or online research in the 10 years I have suffered with AFib/ arrhythmias and tachycardia. Now I feel I can understand my ecg/akg readings when I look at them. You are an excellent teacher. You deserve an award. Thank u again ❤
So what would happen if you touched your big toe on either foot, would you get a different lead? You know, instead of touching your hand, touch the foot?
Beautiful explanation
How do you compare smart watch with Omron Complete (BP + ECG)
Great explanation!
Would this be good to identify anxiety while sleeping, PTSD and night terrors?
I’m considering buying one because I saw a cardiologist for the first time, just to do some investigation into some stuff and was surprised when he told me that the new Apple Watch’s are pretty accurate. Makes me want one just as a precautionary thing
Tumeric is a natural anticoagulant. it looks like a ginger root but yellow. Indian foods often use it as spice.
Where can I get this watch
Do you get the certificate for it
