January 28, 2025 All day
This webinar features online interactive lectures and discussions led by Cardiologists with extensive experience in addressing cardiology-related questions from Psychiatrists, particularly concerning ECGs.
It offers an update on ECG interpretation, covering both fundamental concepts and advanced insights, with a focus on abnormalities relevant to General Psychiatrists. Delegates will have the opportunity to practice ECG interpretation interactively, applying techniques learned during the lectures, and receive live feedback from tutors.
Aim
To provide Adult/General Psychiatrists with a practical and comprehensive webinar that covers a broad range of ECGs. The course is designed to help participants develop a skilled and systematic approach to interpreting ECGs, recognise red flags, and make informed decisions about when to refer to a specialist.
Session Content
- Interpreting ECGs: Focus on interpretation rather than the process of taking an ECG.
- Relevant Abnormalities: Common ECG abnormalities encountered by General Psychiatrists and critical aspects not to miss.
- Clinical Symptoms: Identifying symptoms associated with abnormal ECGs and key questions to ask patients.
- Medication Management: ECG abnormalities related to psychiatric medications and considerations for medication management.
- Contraindications: Understanding which ECG findings contraindicate psychotropic medication.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, delegates will have developed a skilled and systematic approach to ECG interpretation, be able to identify red flags, and know when to refer patients to a specialist.
Interactive ECG Discussion
- All attendees will engage in in-depth discussions of ECG cases, guided by the tutor.
- The tutor will highlight best practices through initial case reviews.
- Cases may include: Prolonged QT Interval, Sinus Tachycardia, Atrial Fibrillation, ST Elevation and Myocardial Infarction, AV Block, and Ectopics.
Note: Places for this webinar are strictly limited to maximise interaction.
