12 Lead ECG Interpretation-Basic & Advanced Combined - 2/8/17

February 8, 2017

Basic

As a result of this activity, Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants should be able to evaluate and interpret basic 12 Lead ECGs.  

Advanced

As a result of this activity, the learner should be able to analyze a 12 Lead ECG in relation to physiological events and various disease states, including conduction abnormalities, probability of supraventricular versus ventricular tachycardia, and describe clinical significance.

Learning Objectives

Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Basic

  • Describe the electrical pathway of the heart
  • Identify the three planes of electrocardiography: standard limb leads, augmented leads, precordial leads
  • Describe the components of a normal 12 Lead ECG
  • Describe the six step systemic approach to interpretation of 12 Lead ECG
  • Relate coronary artery anatomy to myocardial perfusion
  • Recognize common ECG patterns associated with various locations of injury/infarction.
  • Interpret various 12 lead ECG examples

Advanced

  • Describe clinical significance of electrical deflections on ECG
  • Review ECG changes in relation to physiological events
  • Analyze QRS axis shifts in relation to various disease states
  • Evaluate ECG patterns for presence of myocardial ischemia, injury and infarction
  • Determine the presence of conduction abnormalities indicating bundle branch blocks
  • Determine probability of Supraventricular (SVT) vs. Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)|
  • Describe causes, clinical presentation and treatments for QT prolongation
