I am pleased to announce that the McCauley ECG Course has officially launched online. This course is specifically geared towards the needs of students (medical, nursing, health professions, industry) in learning how to interpret electrocardiograms (ECG). I created this course because I found no resources, either in books or online, that specifically targets the needs of students for board exams and clinical rotations. What makes this course different is the organized top-to-bottom workflow for reading ECGs, highlighted real-time frames showing which parts of the ECG to focus on, and clinical case correlations, which bring the clinical relevance of each ECG into focus. This course is what I was looking for as a medical student, but could never find. In short, if you’re wondering which ECG resource to use for your basic science and clinical rotations, this is it !

I am excited to announce that work from our laboratory was recently published in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, as an Editor’s Choice Article. In this work, we show for the first time that the native electrical signal in the heart can be transferred from one region to another with a surgical suture made from carbon nanotube fibers (CNTf). The CNTf sutures have remarkable electrical conductivity, strength, and flexibility and are the first to be used in surgical applications to restore electrical conduction in the heart. The long-term impact of this work is that the reestablishment of cardiac conduction has the potential to revolutionize therapy for cardiac electrical disturbances, one of the most common causes of death in the United States.
