The course provides an update on how to read ECGs –the basics and beyond– with a focus on ECG abnormalities that are highly relevant to the practice of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist.

The course is NOT about how to take an ECGs, but about interpreting them.

A systematic approach to interpreting an ECG

ECG abnormalities related to psychiatric medication
Abnormal ECG – expected outcomes and management, including medication management
What ECG is contraindication to psychotropic medication?
When to refer further to a specialist
