Comprehensive PESCI preparation designed by Australian medical experts. This course equips International Medical Graduates with essential skills for successful PESCI assessment through:
Ventricular Ectopics are common findings in clinical practice and are particularly relevant for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) preparing for PESCI in Australia. This lesson provides a concise overview of the definition, causes and clinical significance of ventricular ectopic beats. Candidates will learn to recognise characteristic ECG features and differentiate ventricular ectopics from other arrhythmias. Emphasis is placed on risk stratification, appropriate investigation and management strategies in accordance with Australian clinical guidelines. By understanding the pathophysiology, potential complications and indications for specialist referral, IMGs will be well prepared to address questions on this topic in the PESCI assessment. This lesson aims to build confidence in interpreting ECG findings and making evidence-based decisions in the context of ventricular ectopics.
