Why Become Certified in Advanced Electrocardiography:

Most importantly is that physician’s need to demonstrate professional accountability in their everyday practice which includes reading complicated EKGs.

And in this day of high litigation, employment shifting, and Joint Commission accountability, these Exams are a perfect way to assess EKG reading skills. Since the electrocardiogram is the single most used test in cardiology, the least expensive and
the most often misinterpreted, there has never been a greater need for standardization of this important diagnostic tool. Prove to yourself and your colleagues that you have achieved proficiency in reading by taking one of the ABCM's EKG Board Certification Exams.

Several thousand Physicians, Nurses and Technicians on an International scale have demonstrated their proficiency by passing one or more of these exams.

History and the Need:

One of our Founders, Dr. Henry J. L. Marriott developed the first Advanced EKG Panel Reader’s Exam in 1969, which he assisted us in merging with a new Advanced Certification Exam in 1992. Prior to these developments, there was no standard with which to measure the competency of a physician whose professional role demands s/he be proficient in reading electro-cardiograms both simple and very complex.

That's when the Marriott Heart Foundation, under the direction of the late Dr. Henry Marriott, and Jonni Cooper stepped in and developed the National EKG Exam service for five levels of professionals. They later turned the exams over to the American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine for delivery and management.

Answer to Sample Advanced Question:

AV dissociation due to AV block and sinus tachycardia, with (possibly two) ventricular capture beats in a patient with acute inferior infarction. At this level, the mechanisms causing dissociation should be understood, and captures (beats 4 and possibly 5) should be recognized by the shortening of the ventricular cycle.
