ECG Interpretation for Primary Care

Introduction

Take This Event

Mastering the interpretation of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a crucial skill for primary care providers. This comprehensive course will equip you with a systematic approach to confidently evaluate and manage a wide range of ECG abnormalities commonly encountered in the primary care setting.
This course is designed for primary care providers, including family medicine physicians, general practitioners, and physician assistants, who aim to enhance their skills in ECG interpretation and management of common cardiovascular conditions.
The course will be delivered through a combination of interactive lectures, case-based discussions, and hands-on ECG interpretation exercises. Participants will have the opportunity to apply the learned concepts to real-world scenarios.

Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
1. Describe a systematic approach to interpreting a 12-lead ECG in the primary care setting
2. Identify normal ECG components and waveform characteristics
3. Recognize common abnormal ECG findings in primary care, such as arrhythmias, conduction disturbances, and ischemic changes
4. Define the different types of heart block and understand their management
5. Calculate the corrected QT (QTc) interval and recognize situations associated with QTc prolongation
6. Develop a risk stratification strategy for patients presenting with palpitations
