ECG Blog #100 (ECG Video-Blog-6) - Arrhythmia Management in Primary Care (Part 3)

-----------------------------------------
     This is the 6th installment of my ECG Video Blog. This 40-minute video is the final part of this 3-part series on a Clinical Look at Cardiac Arrhythmias from a Primary Care Perspective. Focus in this Part 3 is on ECG diagnosis and management of the SVT Rhythms — including PSVT/AVNRT — MAT — Atrial Flutter — and Atrial Fibrillation.
-----------------------------------------
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 3-Part 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 in this Part 3 (Video-Blog #6 = Blog #100). I believe this video brings the topic to life!
