Course Coming Soon!
EKGs are one of the most common non-invasive diagnostic modalities used across healthcare settings. They are a vital part of cardiac assessment and remain the gold standard for diagnosing certain conditions, e.g., ST-elevation myocardial infarction. While historically reviewed by specific providers and specialties, there is a increase in APPs reviewing and interpreting EKG findings to make aid with treatment decisions, necessitating a need to maintain competency. The course, Electrifying Insights: A Comprehensive Guide to EKG Interpretation, aims to increase knowledge on EKG fundamentals, waveform analysis, and strategies for assessing cardiac rhythms.
Course Objectives
- Identify the purpose of performing EKGs and the information provided
- Explain the basic anatomy and electrical conduction of the heart
- Understand importance of lead placement and their respective views of cardiac activity
- Identify, interpret components of EKG waveforms, and recognize normal and abnormal patterns
- Apply EKG interpretation skills to assess cardiac rhythms
- Discuss ethical considerations and interdisciplinary collaboration
