OVERVIEW

EKG Interpretation Seminar is organized by Northwest Seminars (NWS) and will be held on Nov 15, 2025.

Description:
Diagnostic Skills for Myocardial Ischemia, Injury, Infarction, Axis Deviation, Bundle Branch Blocks, and Fascicular Blocks
Due to the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease and standards of care regarding EKG monitoring by various professional organizations (physicians in many specialties [anesthesiology, emergency medicine, and critical care], advanced practice nurses) healthcare providers are being challenged to interpret the EKG as well as treat underlying conduction disturbances. This program is designed to update these practitioners with the latest information on this body of scientific information.

Objectives:
At the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able to:

  • Review the 12-lead EKG system, dipole concept, the predicted morphology of the EKG waveforms, and options for lead placement.
  • Define the EKG criteria for diagnosing myocardial ischemia, injury, infarction, axis deviation, bundle branch blocks, and fascicular blocks.
  • Review the recommended placement of limb and chest leads for recording the 12-lead EKG and for continuous monitoring the EKG in the OR, PACU, ICU and ED.
  • Apply the criteria for the diagnosis of EKG changes associated with pathophysiology.
