The Masterclass in Advanced Dysrhythmias (Nov 16 - 19, 2026)

The Masterclass in Advanced Dysrhythmias is organized by Medicus of Houston and will be held from Nov 16 - 19, 2026 at Homewood Suites by Hilton Houston Near the Galleria, Houston, Texas, United States of America.

Description:
The Masterclass in Advanced Dysrhythmias is a high-level, mechanism-driven program designed for clinicians who want to elevate their skills in advanced ECG interpretation and complex dysrhythmia analysis. What makes this course different is the immersive, interactive learning environment: you’re not sitting through a lecture — you’re actively working through rhythms, asking questions whenever you want – even during the presentations- and getting real-time clarification in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. The pace is fast, the discussion is open, and the focus is on true understanding rather than memorizing patterns. Participants consistently describe the experience as engaging, confidence-building, and surprisingly fun because the entire course is built around conversation, curiosity, and hands-on problem solving.

Join us and be a PARTICIPANT - never just an audience!

Intimate Class Size
Just a handful of participants in a private conference room. Everyone addresses each other by name, with breaks every hour.

Active Participation
Up to 10 hours of hands-on ECG interpretation. Ask questions at any time — you don't wait until the end of a presentation.

Materials Provided
Program manual with all lecture slides, ECG calipers, 3× magnifying lens, and a straight-edge strip for aligning deflections.

What You’ll Learn in This Advanced Dysrhythmia Course

A Truly Advanced curriculum

The advanced curriculum of The Masterclass in Advanced Dysrhythmias is built for clinicians who refuse to settle for basic rhythm interpretation. This is a true advanced dysrhythmia course—a fast-moving, mechanism-driven excursion into wide complex tachycardias, exit blocks with pacemaker resets, concealed transseptal conduction, and the high-risk patterns that demand expert-level ECG mastery. Every module uses real-world ECGs to sharpen recognition, accelerate decision-making, and eliminate the guesswork that leads to dangerous misdiagnoses.

Guided by Jerry W. Jones, MD FACEP FAAEM, participants work through challenging cases step-by-step, learning exactly how experts analyze complex rhythms under pressure. If you’re searching for wide complex tachycardia training, advanced ECG interpretation, or a curriculum that finally explains why arrhythmias behave the way they do, this Masterclass delivers. It’s focused, high-yield, and built to transform your clinical accuracy—fast.

Active Participation by all!
The Masterclass in Advanced Dysrhythmias is built around full-contact learning. Every clinician in the room is actively interpreting, debating, and applying advanced rhythm analysis in real time. This isn’t passive instruction—it’s deliberate practice with expert guidance that sharpens your clinical instincts and exposes the subtle reasoning that separates competent interpretation from true mastery.

Learning by doing transforms complex dysrhythmias from abstract concepts into automatic skills. When you work through real-world cases, make decisions under pressure, and articulate your interpretations, the knowledge becomes durable, intuitive, and immediately usable. You leave the course with confidence you can feel—because you’ve already done the work, not just watched it.

Learn to laddergram dysrhythmias!
Did you know that when you look at an ECG you are really looking at TWO ECGs – one superimposed on top of another? That’s right! The atria have their own ECG and the ventricles have theirs. Therein lies a PROBLEM! One ECG can interfere with analysis of the other. If only there were a way to separate them…

There is a way: a LADDERGRAM! A laddergram is a diagram that effectively lets you separate the atrial from the ventricular impulse. It allows you to follow the depolarization from the sinus node down through the ventricles. Conversely, it lets you follow an ectopic ventricular beat from the ventricles to the atria.

The laddergram is an indispensable tool for anyone wanting to cleverly and decisively decipher complex dysrhythmias. The Masterclasses are the only courses that teach LADDERGRAMS!

A Full day for Wide Complex tachycardias!
In this Masterclass, we devote an entire day to everyone’s nemesis: the wide complex tachycardias. The focus is ventricular tachycardia in all its forms—outflow tract tachycardias, fascicular VT, bundle branch reentry, monomorphic VT, polymorphic VT, and the uniquely treacherous Torsade de Pointes. We break each one down by mechanism, morphology, clinical context, and response to therapy so participants learn to recognize these patterns with speed and confidence.

Just as important, we tackle the look-alikes. SVT with aberrancy, pre-excited tachycardias, paced rhythms, and artifact can all masquerade as VT, and the consequences of misclassification are enormous. Throughout the day, you’ll learn the distinguishing features that separate one entity from another—subtle clues in axis, capture and fusion beats, QRS morphology, and clinical setting—so that when the monitor erupts with a wide, fast rhythm, you know exactly what you’re dealing with and what to do next.
