Description

Part 1a: 25 mins

  • Basics of electrocardiography (ECG): electrode placement, normal sinus rhythm, common arrhythmias
  • Systematic approach to ECG interpretation: rhythm, rate, axis, intervals, morphology
  • ECG SBAs

Part 1b: 20 mins

  • Timed ECG WrisKE exercise
  • Go through answers

Part 2a: 25 mins

  • Chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation in cardiac pathology: cardiomegaly, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax
  • Systematic approach to reporting CXR interpretation: A to E

Part 2b: 20 mins

  • Timed CXR WrisKE exercise
  • Go through answers

Summary

This informative session focuses on the vital skills of ECG and CXR data interpretation. In part one, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of ECG basics, from electrode placement to common arrhythmias and a systematic approach to ECG interpretation. Following this, a timed ECG exercise will allow participants to put their newfound knowledge into practice. In part two, participants will tackle the interpretation of chest X-rays in cardiac pathology – becoming proficient in identifying conditions such as cardiomegaly, pulmonary edema, and pneumothorax. Once again, a systematic method of reporting CXR interpretation will be followed by a timed CXR exercise. This powerful interactive presentation promises to enhance your diagnostic skills that you can immediately implement in your medical practice.

Learning objectives

  1. To understand and recall the basic principles of electrophysiology involved in electrocardiography (ECG), including the placement of electrodes and the features of common arrhythmias.
  2. To develop a systematic approach to ECG interpretation, focusing on examining rhythm, rate, axis, intervals and morphology.
  3. To practice ECG interpretation skills through SBAs and the WrisKE exercise, aiming for improved accuracy in the assessment of different cardiac conditions.
  4. To comprehend the principles of Chest X-Ray (CXR) interpretation in the context of cardiac pathology, specifically recognizing and interpreting signs of cardiomegaly, pulmonary edema and pneumothorax.
  5. To develop and apply a systematic approach to interpreting CXRs, adopting an A to E method for reporting, and apply these skills on CXR WrisKE exercises for the better understanding of cardiac conditions.
