Enhance your skills in managing cardiology presentations.

Prepare for your cardiology patients that may present to urgent care or the emergency department. In this course, you will learn to identify common and life-threatening arrhythmias and findings for various heart disease processes. Review basics such as ECG physiology, axis, voltage, and anatomy and be able to read ECGs to identify abnormalities. Confidently diagnose and treat common chest pains and bradycardic and tachycardic heart conditions. This engaging course by a trio of cardiology friends (aka the CardioNerds) includes 5 hours of video content, downloadable pdfs of the slides, 80 ECGs to review, algorithms for diagnosis, and post-course quiz to test your knowledge.

Topics Covered in the

Course

Approach to the ECG


  • ECG basics, including anatomy, physiology, and voltage

  • Stepwise approach to reading ECGs, including rate, rhythm, axis, and intervals

  • Identifying common and life-threatening arrhythmias, such as SVT and bundle branch blocks, on ECG, as well as other conditions, such as electrolyte abnormalities


Tachycardia


  • Case-based discussions and systematic, step-by-step approaches to assessment of tachycardia

  • Narrow-complex tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, SVT (AVNRT, AVRT), and atrial fibrillation and flutter

  • Wide-complex tachycardia, including SVT with aberrancy, Torsades de Pointes, and ventricular fibrillation


Bradycardia


  • Common causes of bradycardia, case-based discussions, and stepwise approaches to diagnosis

  • Sinoatrial (SA) nodal disease, including sinus bradycardia, sinus pause/arrest, tachy-brady syndrome

  • Atrioventricular (AV) nodal disease, including first-, second-, and third-degree AV block, Mobitz type 1 and 2, complete heart block, junctional escape, ventricular escape rhythm

  • Review of medications and pacing techniques for management


Can’t Miss Chest Pain


  • Approach to the history and physical of patients presenting with chest pain as well as when to order testing and determine if serial testing is needed, including ECGs and troponin

  • Case-based review of chest pain and associated ECG changes found in classic STEMI and atypical STEMI equivalents.

  • Differentiation of life-threatening cause and ischemic versus non-ischemic etiologies, and identify STEMI, De Winter, Wellen, ST-segment changes

  • Review of antiplatelets and other medication therapies
