FREE ECG TRAINING MODULES


Free ECG Training Modules The Center for Sports Cardiology at the University of Washington in collaboration with the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians (ACSEP) is excited to offer open access worldwide to a new collection of six online electrocardiogram (ECG) training modules. These are based on the 'International criteria' and the latest consensus recommendations for ECG interpretation in athletes. The development of the modules that were launched in 2019 was supported in part from educational grants provided by AMSSM and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. AMSSM members and other physicians from around the world can access the modules at: https://uwsportscardiology.org/e-academy These updated training modules that were developed by past AMSSM President Jonathan Drezner, MD and colleagues from ACSEP build upon the original ECG interpretation training modules that launched in 2013. More than 60,000 of those modules were completed by physicians from 138 countries. Like the 2013 modules, these new training modules are freely available to any clinician around the globe. ECG increases the detection of cardiac disorders predisposing to sudden cardiac death, the leading cause of athlete fatalities during sports participation. The ECG modules are based on the 2017 'International criteria' and the latest consensus standards for interpretation of an athlete’s ECG. The training course includes 6 modules aimed to help the clinician distinguish normal physiologic ECG findings from ECG abnormalities requiring more investigation. Importantly, the modules provide recommendations for the secondary testing of each specific ECG abnormality to evaluate for the presence of underlying cardiac pathology. The complete training course includes: Basic ECG interpretation in athletes (post-test 1) Normal ECG findings in athletes ECG abnormalities in cardiomyopathy ECG abnormalities in primary electrical disease ECG interpretation challenges and common pitfalls Advanced ECG interpretation in athletes (post-test)
