Overview

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a vital diagnostic tool widely utilized across healthcare settings to assess cardiac function and identify arrhythmias, ischemia, and other cardiovascular abnormalities. Understanding ECG interpretation is essential for professionals involved in clinical care, especially in cardiology, critical care, and emergency medicine.

This guest lecture is designed to equip participants with essential and clinically applicable knowledge of ECG interpretation. Key topics include the heart’s electrical conduction system, waveform analysis, recognition of common arrhythmias, and the interpretation of drug-induced ECG changes. The session will highlight practical case scenarios to enhance clinical relevance and understanding.

 

By bridging theoretical concepts with real-world application, the lecture encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and empowers participants to actively contribute to patient safety, therapeutic decision-making, and cardiac care optimization.

Objectives of Event

Upon active engagement in this expert-led session on “Mastering ECG Interpretation”, participants will:

  1. Gain a comprehensive understanding of ECG fundamentals, demonstrating the ability to accurately identify and interpret key waveform components such as the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave.
  2. Develop critical insight into distinguishing between normal and pathological cardiac rhythms, enhancing clinical decision-making in patient care settings.
  3. Enhance their ability to assess the electrophysiological effects of pharmacological agents, with a focus on recognizing drug-induced ECG changes, including QT interval prolongation and proarrhythmic risks.
  4. Sharpen diagnostic proficiency by identifying characteristic ECG patterns associated with critical cardiovascular conditions such as myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia.
  5. Apply ECG interpretation skills to optimize therapeutic strategies, contributing to the selection, monitoring, and adjustment of pharmacotherapy based on cardiovascular assessments.
  6. Strengthen their collaborative role within interdisciplinary healthcare teams, actively contributing to cardiac care, emergency interventions, and evidence-based clinical practice.
