Learning Outcomes
GPT009:
Understanding different ECG equipment types
​
ECG equipment - set-up and calibration
Includes professionalism, consent, IPC
and legal requirement
​
Patient preparation
​
How to correctly apply electrodes to limbs and chest
​
Identify artifacts (equipment and patient)
​
Identify and recognise routine traces
​
Identify and recognise non-routine traces
​
Identify traces requiring urgent attention
​
Labelling and reporting
​
​
GPT010:
Understand the acceptable variations within the normal ECG of healthy adults.
​​
Recognise the expected patterns of an ECG from a healthy child from birth onwards and identify abnormalities.
​
Interpret abnormal ECG patterns in adults.
Diagnose arrhythmias as an underlying cause of palpitations and syncope. Exploring sinus rhythm, extrasystoles, paroxysmal tachycardia and the importance of a physical examination.
​
Identifying syncopal episodes attributable to cardiovascular disease as opposed to arrhythmias.
​
Recognise ECG markers for tachycardias, bradycardias, pre-excitation syndromes, bi-fascicular block, and first-degree block with bundle branch block.
​
Differentiate between supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles and be able to diagnose broad complex tachycardias, ventricular flutter and fibrillation, sick sinus syndrome, and Stokes-Adams attacks.
​
Recognise and identify symptoms associated with the causes of acute or chronic chest pain in patients who present with myocardial infarction (heart attack), pulmonary embolism, significant central pulmonary embolism, pericarditis, aortic dissection, oesophageal rupture, spinal disorders, vertebral collapse, posterior infarction, and angina.
​
Recognise symptoms indicative of conditions such as pulmonary oedema, chest diseases, and pulmonary congestion.
After the course
GPT009:
Safely and competently set up an ECG machine
​​
Introduce patients to the ECG test, adhering to compliancy requirements before and after testing
​
Perform an ECG test to national guidelines
​
Understand basic traces and their correlation to cardiac issues
​
Recognise normal and erroneous recordings
Recognise recordings that require urgent medical follow-up
​
Complete the recording and label (or record digital copies) as per guidelines
​
GPT010:
Appreciate normal and abnormal ECG variations in the context of varying pathologies.
​Be able to determine whether an arrhythmia has an underlying cause that requires medical intervention.
​Interpret ECGs as a function of the patient's ongoing cardiac management.
Understand and apply the Burce Protocol exercise test in relevant clinical situations.
​Know how to clinically respond to a patient with chest pain including further investigations required, pain relief, history and examination and echocardiogram.
​Understand and apply the fundamental principles of arrhythmia management.
Understand the primary causes of heart disease and the diagnostic process.
​Appreciate the importance of the ECG as a diagnostic tool alongside the patient’s history and clinical presentation and recognising its limitations.
