Learning Objectives / Objectifs d'apprentissage:

At the end of this session participants will be able to / Au terme de cette conférence, vous serez:

develop a systematic approach to ECG interpretation;
interpret complex rhythms and relate them to a clinical problem; and
develop a management strategy for common heart rhythm disorders.

Workshop Description: This Workshop will fulfill the learning needs of those seeking a practical approach to these difficult arrhythmia cases. Difficult arrhythmia cases like those addressed in this workshop are a frequent challenge to all involved in the clinical management of patients. This workshop will provide participants with a comprehensive and practical approach to ECG interpretation. Workshop participants will also learn how to interpret the ECG tracings in such cases.

Trainees, allied health professionals and community cardiologists will be invited to submitted cases. The most appropriate cases will be selected and presented by these individuals along with expert panelists from the Canadian Heart Rhythm Society. The cases will incorporate a question and answer format with audience polling to promote interactive learning.

The CHRS education committee planned this workshop. Members of this committee include community and academic cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiology residents and allied professionals from diverse practices and experience across Canada. The CHRS education committee is composed of representatives from each of the following regions: British Colombia, Prairies, Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic Provinces. The CHRS education committee has developed an objective and balanced representation of the topic of ECG interpretation that is completely free of third-party influence and/or support. A meeting was planned to assess the needs of clinical cardiologists, trainees and internists in the field of arrhythmia management. Selected speakers are representative of diversity in gender and generation as well as the perspective from across Canada.
