Eletrocardiology II

Knowledge of cardiac electrophysiology and the conduction system.

Knowledge of cardiac and coronary anatomy.

The teaching of this course is divided into two components, a theoretical-practical and practical. The teaching methods applied are:

METHOD EXHIBITION:

Underlying principles and concepts as proposed program, using audiovisual media

INTERACTIVE METHOD:

Privileged discussion on relevant themes introduced in class.

The student must acquire knowledge of:

-Identify the electrocardiographic patterns of the pathologies taught

-Proceed to perform, read and report conventional electrocardiogram

-Proceeding to carry out, read and report stress tests

-Proceed to perform, read and report Holter ECG

-Proceeding to carry out, read and report the MAPA

-Study of cardiac arrhythmias

-Study of arrhythmias caused by changes in conduction and/or impulse formation

-Study of ventricular arrhythmias

-Study of Pre-Arousal Syndromes

-Study of arrhythmias in sudden death

-Other methods in the study of arrhythmias

The student must acquire skills in:

-Perform basal electrocardiograms, reading and reporting;

-Identify the electrocardiographic patterns of the pathologies taught;

The student must acquire skills of:

-Develop the ability to retain and in the future expand their knowledge in all aspects of electrocardiology
