Doha: Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) and Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) Heart Hospital teamed up to deliver a practical course on the effective use of the electrocardiogram (ECG) to diagnose a variety of cardiovascular diseases.
The one-day course, which was aimed at physicians, nurses, students and other healthcare professionals, explained the basics of ECG use in clinical practice through lectures before the participants discussed clinical cases in small groups in order to understand how to apply the theory to practical situations. The participants learned how to identify changes in ECG readings and how to interpret said changes to identify dysfunctions such as atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, and electrolyte abnormalities.
