CME Medical Conferences

ECG Interpretation (Revised)

A Seminar for Medical ECG Interpretation Training
CME Conference Description:

**Please note that starting in 2011, Holter Monitoring will be held as a seperate course.

The first section of the CME medical conference will focus on the evaluation of the ECG including intervals, waves, hypertrophy, heart blocks, and infarction patterns. The second section will apply these principles to the interpretation and evaluation of the ECG and its relationship to clinical abnormalities such as pericarditis, electrolyte effects, as well as technical problems, lead reversal, and errors in the ECG tracing. The third section will include both unknown ECG’s as well as interactive clinical case discussions. Indications and use of Holter monitoring will be reviewed. This CME medical conference assumes the attendee understands the basics of ECG's, however, brief reviews will ''refresh'' concepts for each topic and discussion will be more in depth.

Consider registering for the ECG Interpretation and Holter Monitoring Value Package.
Consider registering for the Exercise (Stress) ECG Testing Course.
Consider registering for the Exercise (Stress) ECG Testing and Advanced Exercise Testing Value Package.

Application for CME credit has been filed with the American Academy of Family physicians. Determination of credit is pending.

CME Conference Objectives

At the completion of this CME medical conference the attendee should be able to:
 

  • Compute the mathematical evaluation of the resting ECG, e.g., rates, interval lengths (blocks), QRS vectors (axis), etc.
  • Identify ECG abnormalities and review proper treatment and management.
  • Correctly interpret composite ECG findings and relate to clinical situations.
  • Analyze cardiac arrhythmias and summarize the proper treatment.
  • Differentiate non-pathologic from pathologic abnormalities frequently seen on the ECG, e.g., lead reversal, technical errors.

CME Conference Reviews

"A strong point was the very logical systemic approach presented, and the repitition of that process on sample tracings to reinforce the approach until is was second nature. Speaker was very good and made it easy to pay attention. Picked up lots of good pearls." - Anonymous, May 2008

"Dr. White was great at interacting with the class." - Anonymous, September 2008
