Note to Class: There are 3 Youtube Videos with this Week (see below): Intro to EKG, First Lecture Video, and the Cardiac Conduction System Video

Please watch the introductory Youtube video to EKG (IF YOU HAVEN'T VIEWED YET). Dr. Kravitz discusses how the class will be taught this semester and his academic goals and expectations for all students in PEP326L. He introduces the EKG Mantra: Study/Learn/Know.

Heart Anatomy Review
With the two pump 'schematic' of the heart in the YOUTUBE video it was clear that the four chambers of the heart actually function similar to two pumps. The right side of the heart pumps to the lungs (pulmonary circuit) and the left side of the heart pumps to the periphery of the body (systemic circuit).
Blood Flow Through Pulmonary and Systemic Circuit
Review: What atrioventricular (AV) valve is on the right side of the heart? (Tricuspid). What atrioventricular (AV) valve is on the left side of the heart? (Mitral). Name the semilunar valves. (Aortic semilunar and pulmonary semilunar valves).
Cardiac Cycle: Three Phases
What are the TWO major cell systems of a working heart? Electrical (autorhymic cells, pacemake cers) and Mechanical (contractile cells, myocardial cells)

The electrocardiogram depicts the electrical activity of the heart.

Cardiac Conduction System of the Heart
Depolartization begins at SA node, then travels to Bachmann's Bundle, AV node, bundle of His, Right and Left Bundle Branches (left anterior and posterior fascicle) and lastly to Purkinje fibers. Class, please note that Bachmann's bundle is an interatrial conduction pathway (which means it conducts the depolarization from the SA node to the left atria).
Introducing Some Pioneers of EKG
What pioneer published the 1st electrical recording of the human heart. Augustus Waller
What pioneer discovered blood flow through the human body? William Harvey
What pioneer published the first EKG? William Einthoven
What pioneer discovered the interatrial conduction pathway (between right and left atria)? Jean George Bachman
What pioneer discovered the purkinje fibers? Johannes Evangelista Purkinje
What pioneer discovered the bundle of His? Wilhelm His Jr
