AMR - Basic EKG

This course gives beginning students a strong basic understanding of the common, uncomplicated rhythms that are a foundation for further learning and success in electrocardiography. The first eight chapters, which can be used as self-instruction, cover basic electrophysiology, waves and measurements, rhythm analysis, and the five major groups of arrhythmias. Basic Arrthymias then introduces cardiac anatomy, clinical manifestations, 12-lead electrocardiography, and cardiac pacemakers.

Advanced 12-lead EKG

The Advanced 12-Lead EKG class is for the healthcare professional that already knows how to read 12-lead EKG's, but wants to get a better understanding of the depth of assessment the 12-lead EKG provides.

This course will provide information about recognition of coronary artery occlusions that would not qualify as a STEMI, but still need PCI. A pre-STE sign for inferior MI's, ways of identifying MI's in the presence of a left bundle block, recognition of hypothermia, hypo/hypercalcemia, Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy, Brugada Syndrome, A-fib with WPW, large pulmonary embolisms, and other potential fatal disorders that show up on a 12-lead EKG will be discussed.

There is a pre-course group of 12-lead EKG's to interpret (with no minimum score) prior to attending the 8-hour class. Eight hours of CE will be given upon class completion.

This course will provide a review of cardiac anatomy and physiology, the importance of proper lead placement, and how to recognize probable improper lead placement on a 12-lead strip.  The course will cover axis deviations, atrial and ventricular enlargements, bundle branch blocks, and recognition of coronary artery occlusions that qualify as a STEMI.

For this class students may find Appendix C and Appendix D of Basic Arrhythmias, 8th edition by Gail Walraven to be helpful, though almost any basic 12-lead interpretation manual should be helpful.

Some electrolyte imbalances (such as Hyper and Hypokalemia), as well as touching on some advanced 12-lead tips (Smith-modified Scarbosa criteria, A-fib with WPW, Brugada Sundrome, etc.) may be discussed if time permits.
