HEARTS Arrhythmia: beyond ACLS

What to expect before the course begins

You will receive the HEARTS Arrhythmia handbook 1-week prior to the start of the course. This book will explain the advantages and limitations of ACLS algorithms, and how the HEARTS approach can help guide treatment.

What to expect in the course

This first session will review the HEARTS approach to ECG interpretation as applied to arrhythmias. This will include a variety of tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias, including those that respond to ACLS algorithms and those that require different treatments.

In the second session, you will practice on real, high-yield ECG cases with a range of arrhythmias.

The course is live and highly interactive, and no recording is permitted so that everyone feels comfortable participating.

Learning objectives

1. Participants will be able to systematically interpret ECGs
2. Participants will be able to apply evidence-based ECG interpretation in clinical context – to a range of arrhythmias
