We posted a rhythm strip of complete heart block  today ( accidentally posted upside down) that was given to us years ago by a friend who was a decile of the late and great Dr. Marriott. Our friend and colleague, Jason Roediger, who has a photographic memory for ECGs, recognized it as having been published by Dr. Marriott. At the ECG Guru, all of our content is copyright-free, and we would never intentionally publish a previously- published ECG. In fact, most of the ECGs on this site come from Dawn's and Jason's own practice, or are donated by friends from their own experiences.

You may have noticed that Dawn's contributions have not been strictly weekly as of late.  My apologies, but we have been in the process of moving 800 miles from Florida, USA to Tennessee, USA.  For our family, this involves moving quite a few pets.  Tommy the pony went first, and is now in Tennessee.  We are about to move the rest of our pets and all of our belongings.  This is a time and energy-consuming undertaking which has been complicated by several adventures, the worst of which is the demise of the family car!

 Dr. Smith, on his ECG Blog, has posted a must-see video presentation by famous ECG guru, Dr. K. Wang, discussing how helpful PVCs can be.  Dr. Smith's blog is one of the best out there for ECG fans, and Dr. Wang is a wonderful teacher.  The ECG Guru highly recommends both.

Ever since I first had a vague idea of what an ECG is, and looks like, I have noticed that graphics artists ALMOST NEVER get it right when using ECGs in advertising.  Especially bothersome to me is when the graphic representation of an ECG is on the side of an ambulance, rescue vehicle, or hospital! Up until now, it has bothered me to no end, but today I found Drew Rinella's hillarious blog, "Stupid Heart Rhythms".
