From A to Z
Master ECG
Basic Concepts + Advance ECG
From Video Lectures of Dr. Najeeb
,How to study this lecture
▪ All of this lecture is transcribed from video lectures of Dr. Najee
organized way and in somewhere I have taken only a short part and a
my notes in order to be easy.
▪ You have two way to study:
First, you can watch the videos before and then read the lecture, how
videos may be too long so you can make the speed of the videos to X2.
Second, you can just read the lecture and I’m pretty sure you face no
and I made it in that way.
▪ I put clinical point with each part which my main purpose is to m
between basic concepts and its clinical ECG.
▪ In the ends of the lecture there is ECG interpretation, therefore it will
for you because you had a background about clinical points.
