Occlusive MI (OMI) ECG patterns without ST elevation.
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 […]
The ECG in acute coronary syndrome
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 […]
Recognizing Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and embolic stroke risk assessment
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 […]
The normal 12-led ECG
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 […]

The Heart of the Matter – Recognizing Atrial Fibrillation (AF) from an ECG.
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 […]
