Advanced ECG Workshop

This workshop will review the interpretation of the 12-lead EKG, emphasizing a systematic approach and the use of important differentials. Utilizing didactic presentations and case discussion, we will also consider EKG signs of ischemia and infarction, common tachycardias, and clues to impending disasters in the acute setting. This workshop is designed for anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of EKG interpretation, and will provide interesting and useful clinical information for any clinician practicing in an acute care setting.
