12 Lead Analysis

This course reviews the steps needed to evaluate the EKG and patterns that suggest various disease states. Topics include steps to measuring the components of the EKG, patterns of infarction, how to calculate the axis and causes of axis deviation, identifying chamber enlargement and bundle branch blocks.

Objective:
To be able to evaluate the 12 lead EKG and identify normal and abnormal values. Also to be able to identify patterns of injury, ischemia, and infarction; calculate the axis using the tri-axial system, determine the causes of axis deviation to include chamber enlargement and bundle branch blocks. A 10 question exam and evaluation form completes the course.
