  1. I want to thank you for providing this information on the internet. I am a pediatric cardiologist who is involved in teaching pediatric residents in developing countries. The "real life" ECGs are excellent. Do you have this information in an "offline" format? Internet is usually very poor if available at all. I have been downloading examples individually to quiz the students. Thanks again, it is a wonderful resource. Mark Duster MD

    1. Thank you for your comments. I am glad that you find them useful. I publish the EKG strips and information for teaching purposes and as a resource for others. I do not have any of the EKGs in an off line format. Feel free to download any of the EKGs and information you need. Thank you for the work that you are doing to educate others.
