Workshop Description: This Workshop will fulfill the learning needs of those seeking a practical approach to these difficult arrhythmia cases. Difficult arrhythmia cases like those addressed in this workshop are a frequent challenge to all involved in the clinical management of patients. This workshop will provide participants with a comprehensive and practical approach to ECG interpretation. Workshop participants will also learn how to interpret the ECG tracings in such cases.

Trainees, allied health professionals and community cardiologists will be invited to submitted cases.The most appropriate cases will be selected and presented by these individuals along with expert panelists from the Canadian Heart Rhythm Society. The cases will incorporate a question and answer format with audience polling to promote interactive learning.
