Overview
What you will study
Electrocardiography not only plays a vital role in the diagnosis of cardiac diseases but also has significant implications in the management of cardiac emergencies.
At the end of the Fundamentals of EKG workshop offered by Gulf Medical University , participants should be able to:
- Recall the history and the theoretical aspects of EKG
- Explain the essential technical aspects of EKG recording
- Explain the normal standardization of the EKG and recognize correct /incorrect standardization of the EKG trace (in sample traces)
- Describe the specific waves in an EKG trace in terms of Polarity, Amplitude and Duration
- Calculate the heart rate from EKG tracing
- Recall Basic EKG Laws
- Identify and describe the normal QRS & T wave patterns (in chest and extremity leads)
- Identify the normal pattern of lead a VR
- Identify the EKG patterns of atrial depolarization on EKG tracings in normal sinus rhythm versus AV junction rhythm
- Calculate the cardiac axis, identify axis deviation and recognize the impact of axis deviation on the clinical EKG
- Identify the EKG changes in Cardiac Chamber Enlargement (RA/LA/RV/LV)
- Recognize the EKG changes encountered in Bundle Branch Blocks (RBBB, LBBB, and fascicular blocks)
- Identify complete versus Incomplete BBB
