This lecture outlines strategies for implementing the “forgotten” risk factor in clinical settings.
Pattern Recognition Approach to the ECG
This lecture with examples has been developed to teach medical students and other groups an easy approach to learning electrocardiography. It has evolved over the past 20 years using input from students. The premise is that students now have so much to learn that a practical approach is the best way of teaching them important concepts. It is aimed at answering their consistent question: what do we really need to know?
Prevalence and Prognosis of ECG
All of the classic rest ECG diagnoses such as LVH, Q waves, bundle branch block and PVCs are reviewed and the available epidemiological studies of their prevalence and prognosis are summarized. It helps the clinicain decide what to do when such abnormalities are seen.
“Early Repolarization – Culprit or Innocent Bystander”
Recent studies have suggested that the benign pattern of early repolarization may be associated with athletic deaths. The studies for and against this new concern are presented. Our feeling is that the semantics of this debate are at the heart of the problem and that traditional early repolarization is a benign finding in many young, healthy athletes.
