Introduction: the electrocardiographic study of cardiovascular diseases is part of the medical science syllabuses; and in many occasions it is difficult for students to understand it. Objective: to prepare a multimedia on clinical electrocardiography for medical science students. Method: a study based on technological innovation was carried out in the academic course 2017-2018, at Santiago de Cuba University of Medical Sciences. Different application software was used for multimedia development; as well as theoretical and empirical methods. A survey was applied to assess the quality and applicability to 120 third-year students and 30 professors. Results: 83,87 % of students were female; where the 60 % of professors were male, 46,67 % had between 6 and 10 years of experience as professors and 50 % hold the Master of Science degree. More than the 63 % of students and professors considered as good all the dimensions included. Only poor evaluations were given respect the applicability as a means to facilitate learning and consolidation of knowledge (6,67 %); and product functionality by professors (6,67 %); students evaluated as poor the update of the staff that made used of it (2,15 %), and product functionality (8,60 %). Conclusions: this multimedia is a useful tool in the teaching-learning process for the training of basic electrocardiography, since it provides professors with an auxiliary means and supplies updated information on cardiovascular diseases.
