[edit] ECG

Thanks for uploading Image:12 Lead EKG ST Elevation tracing only.jpg to commons. For the non-initiated (i.e. most lay readers) it would be quite helpful to have some form of annotation. I would suggest uploading a version with red arrows pointing out that the ST segment is significantly above the isoelectric line, and possibly another kind of marker to demonstrate the inferior lead reciprocal changes.

Added color to the picture to show what you suggested, even used color that is color-blind friendly. Let me know if I should change anything else. If you have time, let me know if I should change any of the other pictures I uploaded. Thanks for the tips. Displaced (talk) 23:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

That's absolutely brilliant! The only thing is... the names of the leads are printed rather small... but that's not a big problem. Which other images have you got available? I've seen the SVT rhythm strip, which is very good (and needs no modifications). JFW | T@lk 05:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I have one in Torsades which is kind of ugly since I was not able to keep the original strip, I had to make a copy. The patients doctor wanted to hold on to it for teaching and because it was rare. Plus the story behind it was interesting and had a happy ending. I still have a couple more I need to upload, including LBBB/RBBB and a few others I can not remember at the moment.
