Abnormal ECGs in Primary Care: A Case-Based Approach to Red Flags and Clinical Decision-Making

Overview

Join expert faculty Dr. Ty Gluckman and Dr. Vani Potluri as they guide participants through three patients, three chief complaints, and three ECGs that landed on your desk: a healthy 29-year-old with months of unexplained palpitations, a 69-year-old with cardiovascular risk factors and persistent "heartburn," and a 51-year-old returning for a follow-up ECG after a recent hospitalization. For each case, you'll interpret the tracing, weigh it against the history and exam, and work through the next-step decisions: reassure, test further, refer, or escalate, before comparing your reasoning to the evidence-based approach. This session is intended for intermediate-level participants.
