Course Highlights

Course Directors: Dr Balbir Singh, Group Chairman - Cardiac Sciences, Pan Max & Chief of Interventional Cardiology and Electrophysiology, Max Saket and
Dr Rajay Narain, Chairman, Global Health Alliance, UK and Honorary Cardiologist, St. George’s University Hospital, London

Course Duration: 2 days in-person

The 2 Day basic ECG Course is a focused, intensive program designed for healthcare professionals who want to develop foundational skills in electrocardiography. It is led by Ms. Rhona Riley, an Associate Professor in Cardiac Physiology at the University of Leeds. The course offers a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on training to ensure participants can competently perform and interpret ECGs.

The learning methodology combines in-depth talks on cardiac anatomy, physiology, and ECG machine usage with practical workshops and hands-on demonstrations. Participants will gain experience in performing an ECG, troubleshooting, and interpreting various rhythms and changes associated with atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, heart blocks, and myocardial infarction. The course concludes with an ECG interpretation workshop and certification, providing participants with the skills needed to immediately apply their new knowledge in a clinical setting. This program is ideal for clinicians and technicians seeking a concise, high-impact qualification that will enhance their diagnostic competence and directly translate to improved patient care.

• Explain the relationship between cardiac anatomy, physiology, and ECG waveforms.

• Demonstrate proficiency in the operation of an ECG machine, including proper electrode placement and troubleshooting common issues.

• Accurately perform and record a standard ECG.

• Identify and interpret a normal ECG, sinus rhythms, and common abnormalities such as atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, heart blocks, and ECG changes indicative of ischaemia and myocardial infarction.

This workshop is open to Physicians, Cardiologists, ICU & Critical Care Teams, and Nurses.

This workshop is a 2-day in-person programme at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket.
