Learning Outcomes

Understand the importance of interpreting an ECG as an extension of the patient's clinical presentation and medical history

 

Learn how to interpret abnormal ECG patterns

​

Appreciate normal and abnormal ECG variations in the context of varying pathologies

​

Interpret ECGs as a function of the patient's ongoing cardiac management

​

Recognise ventricular arrhythmias - ventricular ectopics, accelerated idioventricular rhythm, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation - effects on patient and treatment.

​

Appreciate supraventricular arrhythmias - atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, premature atrial contractions (PACs), junctional tachycardia - effects on patient and treatment

​

Appreciate the importance of the ECG

as a diagnostic tool (includes performing an ECG as part of a "well person" screen)

​

After the course

Recognise when a recording may be artifactual and therefore potentially subject to mis-interpretation

​

Understand how to resolve artifactually produced recordings

​

Appreciate (and intervene) when a patient may be at risk from a stress-test based ECG

 

Perform an ECG and interpret the recording in the context of a wide range of patient pathologies

​

Understand complex traces and their correlation to common and less common cardiac issues

​

Interpret recordings in association with the patient's medical history and clinical presentation

​

Recognise recordings that require further investigation

​

Understand the need to communicate your findings when urgent intervention is appropriate
