Advanced 12 Lead EKG
The 12 Lead EKG can provide a wealth of information to health care providers. As heart disease continues to be the number one killer of both men and women, a complete understanding of 12 lead EKGs can be vital for the health-care provider. The intended audience for this course is nurses and other health-care providers.
This 4 hour session will review EKG changes associated with hypertrophy, pericarditis, PE, COPD, select drugs, electrolytes, etc.; differentiate between bundle branch blocks and fasicular blocks; differentiate between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia.
