THE 12-LEAD ECG IN ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME

Course overview

ECG interpretation is vital in the diagnosis and treatment of Acute Coronary Syndromes. This easy-to-understand full-color text describes how to interpret 12-lead ECGs and recognize acute coronary syndromes. Includes workbook, heart rate calculator, and over 110 practice ECGs! Course Objectives: * Recognize basic anatomy and physiology of the heart and conduction system. * Identify the components and approach to acquire an accurate 12-lead ECG. * Describe the pathophysiology involved in acute coronary syndrome and differentiate its various clinical presentations. * Recognize infarct patterns on the ECG and predict the site of occlusion. * Differentiate bundle branch blocks and their clinical significance. * Anticipate complications of MIs based on cornary occlusion sites. * Differentiate between infarct patterns, MI, bundle branch blocks and conditions that can imitate acute coronary syndromes. * Utilize a systematic approach in interpreting the 12 lead ECG and infarct patterns. * Advanced Level CE (Item #N1300)
