Here we see a 30 s long strip of a 1-leadECG, recorded with a modern Smartwatch (Apple watch). The ECG has been graphically processed for better visualization. The paper speed is 25 mm/s as usual. The lead shown corresponds to ECG lead I of the limb leads.

Doctors of a certain age tend to fetishize the physical exam. I think this is because learning the physical exam is an important part of the socialization of the doctor. It is also a skill that doesn’t really wither with time. Though with every passing day I feel more and more like part of the old guard, I can only give the exam a tepid defense.

This ECG is from a 65-year-old woman who had previously had no cardiac abnormalities but has now suffered several syncopes within 2 weeks. During the last syncope she suffered a fracture of the left femur.

AI is transforming clinical trials—accelerating drug discovery, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving data analysis. But its impact goes far beyond research. As AI-driven innovation reshapes the clinical trial process, it’s also influencing broader healthcare trends, from personalized medicine to patient outcomes. Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!

This 3-lead ECG comes from an 80-year-old gentleman who went for a cardiological examination after a syncope. The ECG shows a sinus rhythm with wide QRS complexes, the QRS morphology in lead I suggests an LBBB, heart rate here just under 60 bpm. After 3 sinus node beats there is a pause of just under 2 seconds. There are no P waves during this pause.

Atrial fibrillation is a very common arrhythmia, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The diagnosis of atrial fibrillation is of great importance, as the timely initiation of oral anticoagulation can in many cases significantly reduce the risk of embolism (which is associated with this arrhythmia). The risk of cardiac embolism is particularly high in the presence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, in which there is frequent alternation between sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation.
