ECG skills: myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndromes
1 hour
Cardiovascular and LipidsLearn the main causes of cardiomyopathy and that most ECG changes in this condition are non-specific. Understand the pathophysiology and treatment options for cardiac amyloidosis, the pathology of pericarditis and some causes of pericardial effusion.
ECG skills: non-cardiac ECG changes
1 hour
Cardiovascular and LipidsLearn to recognise ECG changes consistent with a pulmonary embolus or electrolyte disturbance and the ECG differences in pregnancy, cardiac transplantation, and childhood. Learn the effects of hypothermia n the ECG and circulation.
ECG skills: QRS abnormalities, ectopic beats, and pacemakers
1 hour
Cardiovascular and LipidsUnderstand atrial and ventricular ectopics and be able to identify, differentiate, and appreciate the clinical significance of bundle branch blocks, ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal cardiac axis. Learn how to interpret ECGs in patients with pacemakers
ECG skills: tachycardia
1 hour
Cardiovascular and LipidsLearn the causes, electrical pathways, and clinical significance of different types of tachycardias including the distinction between narrow and broad complex beats and recognise life threatening tachycardias.
ECG skills: troubleshooting when recording an ECG
30 minutes
Cardiovascular and LipidsLearn about the common technical problems and patient related factors which can interfere with recording an ECG and how to resolve these issues.
ECG skills: understanding the normal ECG trace
1 hour
Cardiovascular and LipidsLearn to identify common and important heart rhythms, determine the cardiac axis, and develop understanding of the different components of an ECG trace.
ECG skills: valvular heart disease
1 hour
Cardiovascular and LipidsLearn to identify common and important heart rhythms, determine the cardiac axis, and develop understanding of the different components of an ECG trace.
