ECGs - Advanced
The aim of the online advanced ECG course is to provide the ability to methodically interpret more complex findings seen on 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) in clinical practice. It is advised that people who are attending this course are already familiar with ECG interpretation and/or have attended the beginners course.
The course will be delivered in a 90 minute interactive lecture followed by a question and answer session. Two hours of self-directed learning will be required to complete the course.
This course will cover:
-
A refresher session on what the P,QRS,ST and T waveforms mean on a standard 12-lead ECG.
-
A detailed evaluation of various atrial and ventricular rhythms using ECG.
-
To understand how to spot myocardial ischemia and ECG changes often seen during a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
-
Discuss various types of heart block and how they are presented on an ECG.
