AF is the commonest cardiac arrhythmia. It increases the risk of embolic stroke five-fold. Opportunistic diagnosis and confirmation of the arrhythmia through ECG recording is therefore an important skill for healthcare professionals across primary and secondary care. This workshop will help you to identify the ECG appearances of AF and atrial flutter. Guest Speaker: […]
An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a recording of the electrical activity within the heart muscle. It is the most commonly performed cardiac test. Practice in 12-lead ECG recording varies across the Health Service predominantly due to variations in training, personal experience and preferences as well as resources. This short workshop will help you to identify the appearances of […]

Acute myocardial infarction occurs when there is acute occlusion of a coronary artery by thrombus, usually at the site of a ruptured atheromatous plaque. This webinar will help you recognize acute coronary syndrome in patients that present with chest pain. Coronary Heart Disease. Epidemiology and pathophysiology of atherosclerotic plaque formation. The 12-lead ECG […]
Around 1 in 4 patients with an acutely occluded coronary artery will not present with the classical ST elevation changes (STEMI), usually seen. Rather, their ECG will display an Occlusive Myocardial Infarction (OMI) pattern that may not be recognised by interpretative ECG software and/or healthcare professionals not experienced in cardiology. This webinar will help you […]
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the commonest cardiac arrhythmia and is particularly prevalent in the elderly population. It carries a five-fold increased risk of embolic stroke. This webinar will help you recognize AF clinically, including the ECG appearances, and undertake stroke risk assessment on affected patients. Speaker: Charlie Bloe Epidemiology of AF. Pathophysiology of […]
So, what is a heart attack? Over the years, several different definitions of Myocardial Infarction have been used, leading to controversy and confusion. The never-ending jargon of STEMI and non-STEMI, anterior and inferior MI, type 1 and type 2 MI may have left you similarly confused. This webinar will take you through the classification of […]

Guest Speaker: Charlie Bloe - Lead Nurse for Cardiology, CCU, Raigmore Hospital Covering two conditions that are seen predominantly in females and can both mimic acute myocardial infarction. Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (“broken heart syndrome”) and Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD). The webinar is aimed at all qualified Health Care Professionals working in and supporting Primary Care […]
Guest Speaker: Charlie Bloe- Lead Nurse for Cardiology, CCU, Raigmore Hospital Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) is a common medical emergency. Early recognition and management are essential to reduce the person's risk of sudden death. This webinar will cover the clinical presentation in heart attack and in particular the 12-lead ECG appearances in patients with […]
Ectopics are extra, premature beats within the cardiac cycle. In most instances they are benign but they can cause significant anxiety when people are aware of their heart skipping a beat. This webinar will outline the main types of Ectopics that you’ll encounter and how to identify them in an ECG.
