VT versus SVT: It’s as easy as ABCDE
The long list of VT "suggestive" ECG features is difficult to recall and apply in real time. Simple ABCDE approach to this common dilemma

Learning cardiac axis interpretation can be tedious. Open source webapp hosted on CardiacAxis.com to analyse axis in English and German
Osborn Wave (J Wave)
The Osborn wave (J wave) is a positive deflection at the J point (negative in aVR and V1). It is usually most prominent in the precordial leads and most commonly associated with hypothermia.
De Winter T Wave
First reported by de Winter in 2008, the de Winter ECG pattern is an anterior STEMI equivalent that presents without obvious ST segment elevation
ECG Lead positioning
ECG lead positioning. V4R, right sided ECG, Lewis lead, 3-lead, 5-lead, 12-lead ECG and electrode placement on chest and limbs
ST depression does not localise
This review will change your approach to localised ST depression on the ECG, which on its own does not accurately localise ischaemia, and may be the first sign of subtle occlusion
Developing Visual Expertise in ECG Interpretation
EM attendings are generally faster and more accurate at ECG interpretation than residents and medical students. But how are they able to process this information so much quicker while maintaining accuracy?
