ECGsource vs IVUSAID

**Excellent resource for ECG Criteria and Board Review!** ECGsource (from the developers of the CathSource and EchoSource Apps) is a supplemental application to ECGsource.com, the largest online educational resource for electrocardiograms. ECGsource has been developed for medical education and board review, and assists institutions in documenting trainee competency in electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation. ECGsource for the iPhone/iPad provides the following resources: -> Full-List of Searchable ECG Diagnoses and Criteria -> Over 65 High-Resolution Sample ECG Images -> ECG Quiz (5-question demo of website's full content) -> ECG Video Tutorials for Beginners (over 50 minutes of tutorial videos) **ECG Criteria is an easily searchable rapid reference for more than 90 of the most common ECG diagnoses, including: Normal ECG, Incorrect Electrode Placement, Artifact, Atrial Enlargement, Sinus Rhythm, Sinus Arrhythmia, Bradycardia, Tachycardia, Sinus Arrest, Sinoatrial Exit Block, Atrial Premature Complexes, Atrial Tachycardia, Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Atrial Flutter, Atrial Fibrillation, AV Junctional Rhythm/Tachycardia, Ventricular Premature Complexes, Ventricular Tachycardia, Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm, Ventricular Fibrillation, AV Block, (1st Degree, 2nd Degree, and 3rd Degree), Wolff-Parkinson-White, AV Dissociation, Low Voltage, Axis Deviation, Electrical Alternans, Ventricular Hypertrophy, Complete and Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block, Left Anterior Fascicular Block, Left Posterior Fascicular Block, Complete and Incomplete Left Bundle Branch Block, Non-specific Intraventricular Conduction Disturbance, Functional (Rate-Related) Aberrancy, Anterolateral Infarction (Age Recent or Probably Acute), Anterolateral Infarction (Age Indeterminate or Probably Old), Anterior or Anteroseptal Infarction (Age Recent or Probably Acute), Anterior or Anteroseptal Infarction (Age Indeterminate or Probably Old), Lateral Infarction (Age Recent or Probably Acute), Lateral Infarction (Age Indeterminate or Probably Old), Inferior Infarction (Age Recent or Probably Acute), Inferior Infarction (Age Indeterminate or Probably Old), Posterior Infarction (Age Recent or Probably Acute), Posterior Infarction (Age Indeterminate or Probably Old), Early Repolarization, Juvenile T Waves, Nonspecific ST and/or T Wave Abnormalities, ST and/or T Wave Abnormalities Suggesting Myocardial Ischemia, ST and/or T Wave Abnormalities Suggesting Myocardial Injury, ST and/or T Wave Abnormalities Suggesting Electrolyte Disturbances, ST and/or T wave Abnormalities Secondary to Hypertrophy, Prolonged Q-T Interval, Prominent U Waves, Digitalis Effect, Hyperkalemia, Hypokalemia, Hypercalcemia, Hypocalcemia, Secundum Atrial Septal Defect, Primum Atrial Septal Defect, Dextrocardia, Chronic Lung Disease, Acute Cor Pulmonale Including Pulmonary Embolism, Pericardial Effusion, Acute Pericarditis, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Central Nervous System Disorder, Myxedema, Hypothermia, Sick Sinus Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, Ebstein's Anomaly, Atrial or Coronary Sinus Pacing, Ventricular Demand Pacemaker (VVI), Dual Chamber Pacemaker (DDD), and Pacemaker Malfunction.** **ECG Video Tutorial section includes over 50 minutes of video tutorials designed to assist beginners learning electrocardiogram interpretation. Tutorial topics include Understanding the Cardiac Conduction System, Understanding the Limb and Precordial Leads, Determining ECG Rate and Axis, Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, Bundle Branch Blocks, and ST-Segment Elevation.** Visit us online at ECGsource.com for more information.

The IVUSAID App is a free educational mobile application which has been developed to teach medical professionals how to use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for PCI guidance based on the current guidelines using our extensive experience and large database of complex coronary cases. Despite the growing body of evidence for clinical benefits of IVUS-guided PCI, IVUS remains underutilized in much of the world including the United States. Challenges in image interpretation and education are among the barriers to widespread adoption of IVUS in everyday clinical practice. Mount Sinai Heart is a global leader within the field of interventional cardiology as well as mobile apps development. The myriad of cases and pathology which are seen in The Mount Sinai Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory make it the perfect center to educate medical professionals within this field. The Key Concepts section of IVUSAID describes principles of IVUS, image acquisition, and concepts of ultrasound behavior in various tissues. The Image Interpretation section of the app has dozens of representative cross-sectional images, videos, and descriptions of plaque types, stent apposition and expansion, artifacts, and more. A short video for each type of lesion or artifact and post-stent findings, in addition to an annotated representative cross section aims to overcome a major limitation of any article or book on IVUS which present a static image, since the actual IVUS pullback is dynamic. Twenty-one complex coronary cases demonstrate IVUS guidance in a variety of patient presentations and lesions including ACS, LM bifurcation, severely calcified lesions and calcified nodules, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and malapposed stents as well as how IVUS was used to inform treatment decisions. An extensive quiz section helps deliver educational content in a more interactive format where answers are accompanied by detailed explanations and references. We hope that IVUSAID will help techs, fellows, and early-career physicians incorporate IVUS in their daily practice for stent sizing, post-stent optimization, and identification of appropriate treatment strategies.
