2 I have no relevant financial relationships with the manufacturer of any commercial product and/or providers of commercial services discussed in this CME activity I do not intend to discuss an unapproved/investigative use of a commercial product/device in my presentation. DISCLOSURES

3 Description: This lecture will discuss pediatric arrhythmia and the importance of evaluating ECG's in a timely and effective manner to avoid possible deadly consequences. Objectives: 1. Recognize hallmark pediatric arrhythmias. 2. Integrate best practice management options in pediatric patients. 3. Evaluate ECGs in a timely and effective process OBJECTIVES
