The Role of the ECG in the Differential Diagnosis

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2021-2022

Topic

The course is primarily planned to fulfill the interest of students interested toward cardiology. Evoking the basics of ECG will be followed by grouping/classifying certain diseases regarding cardiology and internal medicine, then introducing extracardiac factors; ( ion level insufficiency, drug/pharmacetucial effects, central nervous systems effects) impact on the cardiac system, and tracking of the cardiovascular system’s diseases in a dynamic way will be the aim of this course. The students will be introduced to the application/usage of ECG within the field of emergency medicine, followed by gaining the ability to analyze these ECGs properly and confidently.
ECGs attached to detailed case presentations improves most students’ ability to make decisions in acute situations and it improves the capability to create a complex aspect/approach as well.
