## What is EKG Academy?

EKG Academy is a quick reference and interactive study guide for electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) strips. Over 100 quiz questions are provided, covering both EKG medical background material as well as a "Name That Strip" section to see if you can identify the strip you see. It's a fun way to review what you know and keep your skills sharp.

In addition to the interactive quizzes, you can browse over 75 strips which come with a brief discussion pointing out the key characteristics and possible causes. Along with the measurement guide diagram and 12 lead placement diagram, you just may learn something new (or remember something old)! 

As a special bonus, there is a CPR section covering the latest 2011 AHA guidelines, written by a certified CPR instructor. This includes a quick reference, an interactive quiz, and even a metronome to show you the proper speed of compressions!

Peakview Software is a leading provider of emergency response software, and we are committed to improving and updating our products. Just email your requests.

This is a universal app so one purchase runs great on your iPhone/iPod Touch as well as your iPad.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2021-05-11, version 4.0*

Absolutely terrible, hard to navigate and very poorly out together overall, save your money and use YouTube

### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2017-11-19*

Good app with useful info. Real shame it’s not up to date with ios11

### 1/5 — Not updated for Ios11

*2017-10-23*

Was a great app... extremely disappointed to see that developer did not update it

**Developer response:** The app has been updated to iOs 11 for a while. Can you update your review?

### 1/5 — Limited material

*2017-08-29*

Disappointed to have spent money on this app--There are only 21 strips to be quizzed on (each a "textbook" example of a common rhythm). Not useful for testing yourself on ECG skills.

Edit: Developer says there are 80+ strips but the quiz keeps showing the same 21. So I stand by my review.

**Developer response:** There are 80 strips right off the main menu, so right off the bat you seem to be missing something. There is also additional educational material besides just strips. It is meant to be an introduction to ECG, if you need more than that, move on to more expensive and detailed material. Send an email if you need technical support.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2016-07-11*

It's a poorly put together app. I'd love a refund

**Developer response:** This is not the appropriate place to ask for a refund. Care to send us an email with details?

### 1/5 — Firefighter

*2013-08-08*

Total rip off. You spend the money. It lets you go through a list of strips Maude 48 and shuts off. Don't waist your money.

### 4/5 — RN student

*2013-04-18*

Practical one of the best

### 4/5 — Study

*2013-04-18*

Excellent!!!

### 5/5 — EKG

*2013-04-16*

Great App! Makes studying for telemetry easier.

### 1/5 — basic errors in the interpretation

*2013-01-13*

DO NOT BUY THIS APP. This app will reinforce instead of correct the most common errors in the interpretation of arrythmias. The authors indicate atrial sensing with there is clear atrial pacing every other P wave. With a little more attention they could have observed the ¨pairing¨of the complexes. Most importantly, a case of clear sinus bradicardia and PACs is mistaken by atrial fibrillation. Lead V1 shows consistent P waves. Anticoagulation of this patient would  make a good case for a lawyer. Sinus nodal block is proposed for a case of pronounced sinus arrhythmia which is commonly seen in young patients (this ECG seems to be from a young patient).

**Developer response:** The interpretations have been reviewed by one or more MD's
