ECGU Workshop

CAEP / CPD Courses / ECGU Workshop

CAEP is proud to partner with ECGU to present the ACS and Friends Workshop — a premier learning experience in emergency cardiac care.

This highly acclaimed, hands-on workshop equips healthcare professionals with the skills to confidently diagnose and manage acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and their mimics. Through expert-led ECG interpretation, real-world case reviews, and evidence-based clinical strategies, participants gain practical tools to improve outcomes in ischemic cardiac emergencies.

Whether you’re an emergency physician, resident, nurse, or paramedic, this course offers a deep dive into the latest thinking on Occluded Myocardial Infarction (OMI), ACS mimics, and high-risk ECG patterns — all in a collaborative and engaging format.

Offered virtually, the ACS and Friends Workshop is a must-attend for anyone looking to elevate their cardiac care practice.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this full-day, hands-on ECG-based workshop, participants will:

Recognize ACS effectively and safely, with or without ST elevation, including the latest concepts in Occluded Myocardial Infarction (OMI).
Apply a full differential for conditions that mimic ACS on ECG: pericarditis, early repolarization, pulmonary embolism (PE), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and much more.
Accurately diagnose with all the clinical tools and treat ACS and pericarditis according to the most up-to-date guidelines for ST+ and ST- cases.
