Learning outcomes
Understand the physical and electrophysiological principles of normal and pathological cardiac electrical activation. Will develop a diagnostic approach based on the reasoned interpretation of ECG signals in vector terms. Understand and identify the main ECG patterns and interpret their association with different pathological pictures.
Course contents
PROGRAMME
Arrhythmias
Basics of electrophysiological mechanisms for arrhythmias genesis
Classification of arrhythmias
Brady and tachyarrhythmias : ECG patterns
Intracardiac signals: methods and techniques for detection and recording and clinical implications for arrhythmias management
Electrocardiography
The basics of ECG
ECG: normal and pathlogical patterns
ECG in acute and chronic ischemic heart disease
ECG in conduction disturbances, hypertrophy and cardiomyopathies
Readings/Bibliography
The material provided during the coure will be sufficient to cover the topic appropriately. However these are suggested additional readings to improve ECG Knowledge:
1) David G. Strauss. Marriott's Practical Electrocardiography. 2021.
2) DJ Rowlands. Interpretazione dell' elettrocardiogramma - ECG normale, Alterazioni morfologiche, Alterazioni del ritmo. 2004
3) G. Oreto Elettrocardiogramma: un mosaico a 12 tessere (Vol. I + Vol. II) 2009
4) I. Diemberger Infections of Cardiac Implantable Devices: A Comprehensive Guide 2021
Teaching methods
The course is made up of lectures with the support of Power Point presentations. Interaction of the audience is wellcome to improve overall understanding and will be promoted by the teacher with interactive analysis of several ECG traces.
Assessment methods
The exam will be a multiple-choice quiz regarding the topics coverd by all three modules. The final score will be positive if the student will obtain a score >17/30.
Teaching tools
Teaching material can be downloaded from the institutional repository (access restricted to UNIBO students).
