EKG and Arrhythmia Interpretation Online Training (NO CME)

Electrocardiograghic (ECG) interpretation is one of the essential skills that a health care provider should possess, especially those who are working at critical care areas, emergency rooms, health centers and industrial clinics. This knowledge can help in the early recognition of arrhythmias for early management and prevention of complications. The course addresses arrhythmia recognition and 12 leads ECG interpretation.

This course will enable the participants to identify different arrhythmias originating at various sites within the cardiac cells or conduction pathways.

In addition, the participants will practice 12 leads ECG interpretation to identify ischemic changes, electrolytes and drug effects.

Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of the course requirements, the participants should be able to:

 Correlate between the cardiac cycle and the electrical activity of the heart (ECG wave form)

 Identify the common arrhythmias

 Interpret 12 leads ECG changes

 Discuss their significance, management, and possible complications
