Session Description: The ability to interpret the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a life-saving skill, but ECG training in most specialties only teaches the basics. Through a series of mini-lectures and multiple case-presentations, the speakers will teach the audience an assortment of ECG pearls that will elevate their ability to interpret ECGs to the a significantly higher level. Half of the session will be devoted to findings of cardiac ischemia, and half of the presentation will be focused on dysrhythmias. Speakers will also discuss many of the common pitfalls that can lead to disastrous outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify subtle, commonly overlooked ECG findings that predict acute cardiac ischemia.
2. Distinguish between the various types of AV block and tachydysrhythmias.
3. Identify common pitfalls that occur in routine ECG interpretation.
4. Identify subtle, commonly overlooked ECG findings that predict acute cardiac ischemia.
