TTE Standard Views vs ECGRef

We have created this interactive application to assist with teaching and learning the assessment of cardiac function with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The primary challenge in learning TEE is translating the two dimensional echocardiographic image into a visualization of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the heart. Users can view the TTE recordings for each of the 20 standard views used in a full cardiology exam and see the corresponding 3D model of the probe, ultrasound plane, heart and rib cage for that view. Each TTE view can be selected from a menu at the left of the screen, or by using arrow buttons to go to the next or previous view in the list. For each TTE view, the 3D model of the probe, ultrasound plane, heart and rib cage can be rotated in the horizontal or vertical plane to view it from any angle. The rib cage can be removed, the part of the heart above the echo plane can be removed, and the heart model can be oriented so the structures correspond to the TTE image.

ECG interpretation, organized for the bedside. ECGRef is a comprehensive electrocardiogram reference for physicians, nurses, advanced practice clinicians, medical students, and other healthcare learners. Use a structured interpretation workflow, review rhythm patterns, explore ECG leads, check diagnostic criteria, and perform commonly used ECG calculations all in one focused reference. FEATURES • Step-by-step ECG interpretation workflow • Rhythm recognition and clinically relevant pattern review • Interactive frontal-plane and precordial lead explorer • Searchable library of ECG terminology and concepts • ECG calculators for heart rate, QTc, cardiac axis, ventricular hypertrophy, bundle branch block, wide-complex tachycardia, and more • Clinical risk tools • Bedside takeaways, common pitfalls, and “do not miss” findings • Favorites, global search, related content, and personal notes ECGRef connects core electrophysiology with practical ECG analysis. Whether you are learning a systematic approach, reviewing an unfamiliar rhythm, or checking a calculation, the app makes relevant information easy to find.
