Course objectives
To increase the knowledge about the physiological and pathological ECG findings. Ability to recognize basic pathological ECG waveforms.
Learning outcomes

Syllabus
  • Lecture: History of ECG, physiology of ECG, origin of particular ECG waveforms Seminar with practical examples: Tachycardia Seminar with practical examples: ECG findings in hereditary syndromes, sudden cardiac death Seminar with practical examples: Treatment of tachyarrhythmias, pharmacological, ablation Seminar with practical examples: Bradycardia Seminar with practical examples: Treatment of arrhythmias by implantable devices Practical part in SIMU: Simulation of the most common ECG pathologies on the ICU monitor, including accompanying vital functions of the patient. Under the supervision of the teacher, students decide on the acute solution of arrhythmia, including the administration of drugs, defibrillation, or resuscitation. Practical part in SIMU: Final test - students themselves describe and evaluate 25 consecutive pathological ECG findings.
