In this seminar you will learn how to recognize high risk features of sudden death in ECG interpretation. You will be able to save valuable time, initiate proper treatment, reduce critical errors and improve patient outcomes when integrating the clinical assessment of your patient with the correct ECG rhythm.
OUTLINE
Recognition of high risk features of sudden death
- Long QT
- Short QT
- Brugada Syndrome
- WPW
- Acquired Torsades de Pointes
Utilizing the 12 lead ECG to aide in rhythm interpretation
- Supraventricular re-entrant tachycardias
- Ventricular arrhythmias
- Criteria for differentiating wide complex tachycardias
OBJECTIVES
- Compare the ECG characteristics of the two most common forms of congenital long QT syndrome.
- Identify the ECG pattern of Brugada syndrome.
- Differentiate Torsades de Pointes from polymorphic VT with normal QT.
- Describe ECG characteristics associated with the most common form of SVT.
- Utilize morphology criteria in leads V1 and V6 to distinguish between SVT conducted aberrantly from ventricular tachycardia.
