Online - ECG Interpretation: The Normal ECG, Ventricular Arrhythmias, Supraventricular Arrhythmias and Channelopathies

In 2021, the Nemours Cardiac Center at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware created a four-part review of pediatric cardiology designed for the primary care clinician.* This education has been developed as a series of enduring modules so that you may participate at your convenience.

This module is a review of ECG findings with the goal of improving recognition of normal ECGs versus those with common arrhythmias and improving interpretation of ECGs by primary care providers. All four of the presenters in this group are outreach cardiologists who have clinics in the community and also consult at many of the hospitals in the Philadelphia area.

* Some of the statistics presented may have become outdated. Please check current literature for updated studies.
