Recognise the expected patterns of an ECG from a healthy child from birth onwards and identify abnormalities. Interpret abnormal ECG patterns in adults. Diagnose arrhythmias as an underlying cause of palpitations and syncope. Exploring sinus rhythm, extrasystoles, paroxysmal tachycardia and the importance of a physical examination. Identifying syncopal episodes attributable to cardiovascular disease as opposed to arrhythmias. Recognise ECG markers for tachycardias, bradycardias, pre-excitation syndromes, bi-fascicular block, and first-degree block with bundle branch block. Differentiate between supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles and be able to diagnose broad complex tachycardias, ventricular flutter and fibrillation, sick sinus syndrome, and Stokes-Adams attacks. Recognise and identify symptoms associated with the causes of acute or chronic chest pain in patients who present with myocardial infarction (heart attack), pulmonary embolism, significant central pulmonary embolism, pericarditis, aortic dissection, oesophageal rupture, spinal disorders, vertebral collapse, posterior infarction, and angina. Recognise symptoms indicative of conditions such as pulmonary oedema, chest diseases, and pulmonary congestion. After the course GPT009: Safely and competently set up an ECG machine Introduce patients to the ECG test, adhering to compliancy requirements before and after testing Perform an ECG test to national guidelines Understand basic traces and their correlation to cardiac issues Recognise normal and erroneous recordings Recognise recordings that require urgent medical follow-up Complete the recording and label (or record digital copies) as per guidelines GPT010: Appreciate normal and abnormal ECG variations in the context of varying pathologies. Be able to determine whether an arrhythmia has an underlying cause that requires medical intervention. Interpret ECGs as a function of the patient's ongoing cardiac management. Understand and apply the Burce Protocol exercise test in relevant clinical situations. Know how to clinically respond to a patient with chest pain including further investigations required, pain relief, history and examination and echocardiogram. Understand and apply the fundamental principles of arrhythmia management. Understand the primary causes of heart disease and the diagnostic process. Appreciate the importance of the ECG as a diagnostic tool alongside the patient’s history and clinical presentation and recognising its limitations.

Description Ecg Assessment And Interpretation Diploma Unleash the world of cardiac rhythms and enhance your skillset with the Ecg Assessment And Interpretation Diploma. This online course offers a comprehensive overview of electrocardiography, extending beyond mere theory to ensure practical expertise. Offering complete flexibility, this course lets learners progress at their own pace, and is perfect for healthcare professionals looking to enrich their knowledge, or students aspiring to a career in healthcare. At the heart of the Ecg Assessment And Interpretation Diploma lies an in-depth exploration of Physiology and Cardiac Anatomy. The course delves into the structure and function of the heart, detailing the fundamentals that all healthcare practitioners should grasp. This essential foundation supports a solid understanding of the electrical workings within the heart, and how these translate into the waveforms we see on an ECG. Building on this foundation, the course proceeds to 'Getting a Rhythm Strip', exploring the techniques for obtaining accurate ECG readings. It covers the practical aspects of patient preparation and placement of ECG leads, critical factors in ensuring clear, interpretable readings. The course then seamlessly transitions into 'Interpreting Rhythm Strips', providing an analytical approach to recognise and understand common rhythm abnormalities. The Ecg Assessment And Interpretation Diploma then delves into the world of arrhythmias, offering comprehensive modules on Sinus Node, Atrial, Junctional, and Ventricular Arrhythmias. Here, learners will become well-versed in the identification and significance of various types of cardiac arrhythmias. The complex topic of Atrioventricular Blocks also gets thorough coverage, enlightening students on the nature and clinical implications of these conditions. As an invaluable addition to the curriculum, 'Treating Arrhythmias' imparts knowledge of interventions, from medication to pacing and defibrillation. This essential knowledge completes the full circle of ECG interpretation, leading to appropriate and effective treatment strategies. The pinnacle of the Ecg Assessment And Interpretation Diploma is the module on 'Obtaining and Interpreting 12-lead ECG'. This vital section goes beyond basic rhythm strips to a full 12-lead ECG, expanding the learner's proficiency in assessing and interpreting complex cardiac conditions. Overall, the Ecg Assessment And Interpretation Diploma is a thorough and detailed course, designed for individuals who seek a robust understanding of electrocardiography. The online learning platform allows learners to interact, ask questions, and clarify doubts, fostering an engaging, productive learning environment.
