This in-depth workshop is designed to equip healthcare professionals with advanced knowledge of electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation, focusing on various heart conditions that can affect cardiac function.

The course delves into electrophysiological processes, conduction pathways, and the impact of pacemakers, ischemia, and inflammation on heart rhythms. Participants will gain the skills needed to identify complex arrhythmias and tissue disorders, culminating in a clinical quiz to solidify learning.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

  • Understand normal and abnormal sinus rhythms, including atrial fibrillation and flutter.
  • Accurately interpret ECG readings, focusing on normal limits and intervals.
  • Identify a variety of arrhythmias and their significance.
  • Recognise tissue disorders such as ischemia and inflammation through ECG patterns.
  • Apply their knowledge in a practical clinical setting through an interactive quiz.

At the PMA we pride ourselves on the understanding that one size doesn’t fit all and – therefore, we have various formats of our workshops and can adapt any programme / agenda to suit your local needs and necessaries – so, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
