ECG Blog #98 (ECG Video-Blog-4) - Arrhythmia Management in Primary Care (Part I)

-----------------------------------------

     This is the 4th installment of my ECG Video Blog. This 26-minute video provides a Clinical Look at Cardiac Arrhythmias from a Primary Care Perspective. Focus in this Part 1 is on monitoring methods — the importance of the clinical scenario — and determining whether the rhythm is likely to be benign vs a rhythm that should be referred. In Part 2 — We'll apply these principles to a rapid overview of the arrhythmias most commonly encountered in primary care.

NOTE: There are advantages to using a video format format. These include:

• Ability to illustrate concepts not done full justice by the written word.
• Greater dispersion of my content through Google & YouTube. This material is free for anyone to use.

     My goal in this brief video series is to address the "art" of arrhythmia management from a primary care perspective. This includes cost-effective assessment as to whether a rhythm disturbance is present (with details on monitoring methods) — whether the arrhythmia is likely to be benign or more worrisome — and a practical approach to treatment.

• Below in Figure 1 — a sample of some issues discussed. I believe this video brings the topic to life!
