It's been 3 years since I was introduced to ECGs, and I've been since then trying to wrap my head around this very concept. Only 8 minutes of quality content did what textbooks could not in years. Superb video, thank you!!!

You know what? We had our first cardiology class in med School (5th year) and I really needed someone to explain me the ECG. This video is perfect and specific. I'm fed up on books spending pages over pages and in the end failing to explain things. Wish our professors used videos as yours in our educational process.
I guess most of you guys are in med school. I legit don't understand most of what he said but explanation was great for the code I'm writing that represents this for my mechanical engineering class. Good luck future doctors
@Rofiq El I think if you look at Action Potentials to understand what is being said about depolarisation and repolarisation then it should make better sense.
As an engineer could you explain what does it mean that the dipole direction is towards the positive from outside what rule is this taken from? I used to love physics but this whole ECG thing doesn't make sense to me. (Just to make sure that I'm getting the video right: 1- The dipole moves toward the positive on outside that's why the vector at first points toward the positive electrode hence giving a positive deflection 2- However, at repolarization the ions were reversed that's why the vector was reversed and since the charges are moving away from the positive electrode the deflection was in the negative direction.)
@@hebaelnabawy8871 I have just the same question in mind. , I see I am not alone , because I have started to think I am the only one who has silly doubts .
@@ayanmajumder4144 ikr I have seen approximately 10 videos beside my textbook and no one comment on this so, I thought that this is physics 101 that I just don't get. As my exams are getting closer I got my golden answer: that's how it works😂👍
This is the clearest I have ever had ECGs explained to me, through nursing school, and then grad school! I needed to know that electrodes and leads are two different things, though they are related. Now I know what each lead means, and which part of the heart it is recording! Thank you!

GREAT video here! I LOVE the Osmosis content! I'm making medical topic videos because I found you guys so inspiring, including a new EKG series soon. Keep up the great work, Osmosis!
Absolutely fantastic explanation, cheers! Only small suggestion would be to mention, that depolarisation & repolarisation of the myocard occur in opposite directions ultimately leading to a positive curve response in both cases on the ECG, which is why the P- & T-waves are usually both depicted as positive. Failure to mention this might have people confused when trying to interpret an actual ECG. Nevertheless an excellent video for the basics!

Just signed up to the free trial to watch the rest. Very clear and helpful. I was looking at the oxford handbook scratching my head, but this explained it all under an hour.
Just wow!!! I have no word to write. It was so clearly and magnificently explained. I went to medical College and never understood EKG in depth.. you have beautifully explained EKG...well done..love it !! ❤️ Thank you so much🙏🙏
Best ECG explanation video ever,my exam us over but i still visit this video quite often,i just love how easy a topic can be when a good teacher teaches you
Generally i know ECG but it took me much time to understand when I was a student. This video is showing clearly basics physiology of heart and i believe it will help students.
listened to my lecturer for 50 minutes in class and another 50 minutes of the lecture recording, but understood nothing; watched this 8.5 minute video and now I know how ECG works. YAY!!!!!!!! Thank you so so very much!!!!
Not all students can afford the money for a prime subscriber 😞. Although the money could be not that much for a US student, please understand that it's too much to afford for a student coming from a third-world country like me. I understand how the world works and that you need the money but you were doing a really great humanitarian job when you were sharing educational materials with every student in the world. Please reconsider holding the wonderful educational material by osmosis in exchange of money.
Hi Moaz, thanks for the feedback. Many of us are involved with Osmosis because we produce three educational videos a week and publish them, for free, on RUclips and Wikipedia. We think it's a great cause, but these videos aren't cheap or easy to make and all of us involved need to make a living--this is full-time work for several people. So we have to make money as an organization to keep producing videos. That said, if you want to see these videos for free you can sign up for a free trial at bit.ly/2ut5ZEJ. We also give membership time away for free with referrals. I hope this helps!
Thank you for your kind reply. I can totally understand you and I wish you nothing but good for all the lovely work you have done so far and still doing. Do I wish that any human can have access to studying material anywhere and anytime?! Sure, who doesn't! ... Is this the way life works?! Unfortunately no, hopefully, one day it will! I still love you.
Hallo I am from Indonesia I want to riview this video: EKG secara khusus menunjukkan bagaimana gelombang depolarisasi setiap detakan jantung yang merupakan gelombang mutan positif. Dan tampilanya bergantung pada rangkaian elektroda yang digunakan. Sel elektroda ini disebut lead 2 misalnya dengan satu elektroda di tengah kanan dan dikaki kiri, pada dasarnya saat gelombang bergerak ke arah elektroda kaki kiri akan mendapatkan defleksi positif, seperti defleksi positif besar ini sesuai dengan gelombang yang bergerak ke bawah vertikal kiri dan kanan. Pada saat seseorang beristirahat sel akan bermuatan relatif negatif dibandingkan diluar lingkungan dan ketika mereka mendepolarisasi, sel-sel menjadi bermuatan positif, meninggalkan muatan sedikit negatif diluar lingkungan. Elektroda akan mendeteksi muatan yang ada diluar sel jika muatan yang berada diluar sel cenderung bermuatan positif maka EKG akan menunjukkan tracking tersebut sebagai defleksi positif-semakin besar dipol semakin besar defleksi sehingga akan menunjukkan gambar mengarah ke atas. Sebliknya jika muatan diluar sel cenderung negatif maka akan terjadi depolarisasi dan gambar akan menunjukkan garis lurus. Thank You
I am studying Biomedical Engineering (3rd year - final year of bachelor) and this is still the best explanation of ECG I have ever seen. For understanding basic principal, its ideal. Thank you much for your hard work! U are saving my ass through my studies!
Excellent job, compliment from Med. Physiology prof. Additional note: It's the change in the electric field (dipole moment) at any point in time, that is detected by the ECG electrodes during excitation (depolarisation) and relaxation (repolarisation) of the cardiac muscle. Depolarisation wave from the negative to the positive lead causes positive deflection and the reverse is true for a repolarisation wave.

Facts that alot of med students are not good in physics and vectors make it difficult to understand or else the concepts are quite basic and this is probably the best explanation of ECG in my opinion.
It's really scary to think so many people in the medical field didn't understand EKG before this video. Please for the sake of our patients don't wait to become familiar with this tool. When used properly it can save heart tissue, when used poorly it can decrease a patient's quality of life and may result in death waiting for that troponin from the lab. The use of EKG can also show a right sided infarct. Learn about it, Google it please. I've had firefighters tell me the STEMI they see is residual from past MI, I look and guess what this guy is having a MI in front of us. Yep, just because you're big and it can sound like you have some kind of authority doesn't mean you know anything. These are amazing tools and I am very grateful that people are watching this and attempting to understand the content. Just know, this is only the tip of the iceberg when learning how to get the most out of the EKG. May your future be bright so our patients live longer and quality lives.
I've watched numerous explanations of this topic now and this is by far and away the best. Some people may not like it because it is complex, but simplifying the explanation would only lead to a fundamental misunderstanding.
Isn't there a dipole on the outer side of the cell membrane that cancels out the one on the inside and the leads are also placed on the surface of the body, so it is not like leads are facing the interior of the cell, in short does ecg measure these diople strength or potential differences between leads?? Please do answer
God bless you!!! I swear your work gives me such a better and deeper understanding of whatever material I may be learning. Your work is GREATLY appreciated!!
I think that you made a mistake when you said that "When the wave moves perpendicular to the electrode it produces no deflection at all". The truth is that It produces what's called a "Biphasic Wave" where the wave has both equally positive and negative deflection. And it's very useful to locate the lead that has this characteristic so you know the heart axis. Thank you for the good interpretation.

I was this close to dropping out of med school cuz I couldn't understand ECGs. This 8min video is wayyyyy more helpful than the 4hr lecture i had to endure on the basics of understanding an ECG. I think I'm supposed to thank you for saving me, but I'm not sure if I won't regret dropping out sooner so ;)
You are doing absolutely phenomenal work... I wish you cover topics of embryology....Your simplifying of concept will help us a lot....thank you and keep up the good work...
No doubt you explained very well! But it will be helpful for me if you make a video in which like diseased state of heart is explained on ECG. Like in cardiac arrhythmias the charge of cell and its representation on ecg
In the 90-s - US tried to bring humanitarian aid to Kyrgyzstan in terms of medications. But they airlifted medications that were about to expire in two months instead of ones that would actually help the Kyrgyz people. I will never forget this backhanded slap to this day. This kind of "help" made me realize that US and whoever stands behind them only want to increase their bottom line at the expense of everyone else. I think we know who I'm talking about.
We are, Shivson! In general, we prefer to release pathology videos to the public because there is broader interest in diseases, but we're building up a library of unreleased videos on our website that include pathology, embryology, and physiology videos. Check us out! bit.ly/2ut5ZEJ.
I think the diagram at 1:25 is mislabelled since the depolarized should have been shown with positive inside and resting state with more negative inside comparatively. The amazingly concise and to the point approach in your lectures is appreciated highly nonetheless.
I think you’re supposed to match the colors (i.e. green = depolarized, red = resting) and not the location of the labels. I was really confused at first too
It's been 3 years since I was introduced to ECGs, and I've been since then trying to wrap my head around this very concept.

Isn't there a dipole on the outer side of the cell membrane that cancels out the one on the inside and the leads are also placed on the surface of the body, so it is not like leads are facing the interior of the cell, in short does ecg measure these diople strength or potential differences between leads??
Please do answer
The ECG detects the moving dipole moment (expressed as instantaneous vector, which has a direction and magnitude).
God bless you!!! I swear your work gives me such a better and deeper understanding of whatever material I may be learning. Your work is GREATLY appreciated!!
thnx for helping me with my brevet finals
Limb leads: I, II, III (bipolar); aVR, aVL, aVF (unipolar)
Chest leads: V1-V6 (precordial)
I think that you made a mistake when you said that "When the wave moves perpendicular to the electrode it produces no deflection at all". The truth is that It produces what's called a "Biphasic Wave" where the wave has both equally positive and negative deflection. And it's very useful to locate the lead that has this characteristic so you know the heart axis.
Thank you for the good interpretation.

We are, Shivson! In general, we prefer to release pathology videos to the public because there is broader interest in diseases, but we're building up a library of unreleased videos on our website that include pathology, embryology, and physiology videos. Check us out! bit.ly/2ut5ZEJ.
Thanks #Osmosis ! I will definitely check it out.
I think the diagram at 1:25 is mislabelled since the depolarized should have been shown with positive inside and resting state with more negative inside comparatively. The amazingly concise and to the point approach in your lectures is appreciated highly nonetheless.
I think you’re supposed to match the colors (i.e. green = depolarized, red = resting) and not the location of the labels. I was really confused at first too
