Bundle Branch Blocks – Right bundle branch block and Left bundle branch block22:24
This module deals with the Bundle Branch Blocks. Right Bundle Branch Block and Left Bundle Branch Block are discussed in detail. The diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction in the presence of a Bundle Branch Block is also elaborated.
Fascicular Blocks – Left Anterior and Posterior Fascicular Block18:24
This module deals with the Fasciular Blocks. The Left Anterior Fascicular Block, The Left Posterior Fascicular Block, the Bifascicular Block and Trifascicular Block are explained in detail.
Atrioventricular Blocks – First Degree, Second Degree and Third-Degree AV Block15:44
The Atrioventricular blocks are explained in detail in this module with examples. First Degree AV block, Second Degree AV block and Complete Heart Block are dealt with here.
SA Blocks, Echo Beat, Intraventricular Conduction Defects, Parasystole etc.27:08
This module deals with a miscellaneous group of arrhythmias. The Sinoatrial blocks are discussed at length. Intraventricular conduction defects are explained. Echo Beat and Parasystole are explained in this module. The Brugada's sign and syndrome are discussed. Also, the Wellen's sign is dealt with in this module.
Cardiac Arrhythmias Self-assessment Quiz Session 156:48
This module and the next one has ECG rhythm strips of Cardiac Arrhythmias for Self evaluation by the candidate. Seven ECGs are given and discussed in detail in this module.
Cardiac Arrhythmias Self-assessment Quiz Session 257:45
This module has given another eight ECGs with their explanation for the candidate to assess himself in the ability to interpret complex cardiac arrhythmias.

Requirements

A basic knowledge of Human Anatomy and Physiology

Description

The course deals with Cardiac Arrhythmias in two parts. This is Part 2 of the course which deals with the various types of blocks. The Bundle branch blocks, the Fascicular Blocks, Atrioventricular Blocks are discussed in detail with examples. A miscellaneous group of arrhythmias comprising Sinoatrial blocks, Echo beat, Intraventricular conduction defects, Parasystole, Brugada Syndrome and Wellen’s Sign are also discussed.

An ECG Quiz on Cardiac Arrhythmias is included in the end of the course for a self-assessment by the student.

All the arrhythmias have been dealt with in detail and the causes of the arrhythmias elaborated whenever needed. The ECG criteria for the diagnosis of complex arrhythmias like Bundle branch blocks and Fascicular blocks have been explained in simple terms, easily understood by the learner.

Wherever needed diagrams have been provided and ECGs are also included for clarity.
