After this session, attendees should be able to:

1. Describe appropriate interpretation of an athlete’s electrocardiogram.
2. Identify pathologic findings on an athlete's electrocardiogram.
3. Differentiate normal variants from pathologic ones on an athlete’s electrocardiogram.

Program Abstract:
Variants can occur in athlete’s ECGs that may be interpreted as pathologic in the general population but may not be so in the athletically conditioned individual. This presentation will review the international recommendations for electrocardiographic interpretation in athletes. Attendees at this presentation will be assumed to have a basic understanding of ECG interpretation.
