ECG Webinar Series

AACVPR is excited to unveil a new webinar series focused on electrocardiography (ECG)! This five-part offering will cover essential 12-lead ECG interpretation and arrhythmia recognition skills tailored for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation professionals. Cardiologist Franklin H. Zimmerman, MD, FAACVPR, author of ECG Core Curriculum, will review real clinical cases to explore:

1. Fundamental concepts of ECG electrophysiology and vectors
2. Electrocardiography of acute and chronic coronary artery disease
3. Arrhythmia interpretation
4. Pacemaker electrocardiography
5. Chamber enlargement, bundle branch block and preexcitation
6. Pharmaceutical effects, QT syndromes and metabolic disorders

Purchase Bundle

Interested in one topic? Individual webinars within the bundle are now available for purchase in the AACVPR Learning Center.

Recordings will be made available following each webinar. There is a 60-day viewing window for the recording. 

Learning Objectives

• Describe the electrophysiologic basis for the normal ECG
• Properly identify and measure ECG intervals, segments and waves
• Demonstrate understanding of the vector concept and their relationship to ECG findings, avoiding reliance on pattern recognition
• Learn how to diagnose chronic coronary disease and differentiate acute coronary syndromes from “infarction imitators”
• Diagnose atrial and ventricular ectopic complexes, tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias
• Recognize chamber enlargement, bundle branch block and preexcitation
• Describe heart block and pacemaker electrocardiography
• Identify the effects of medications and metabolic disorders on the ECG
• Interpret tracings using a system of structured reporting
• Recognize “red flags” that warrant intervention or adjustment of exercise
