This course assumes the learner understands the basics of EKG’s, however, brief reviews will ‘‘refresh’’ concepts for each topic and discussion will be more in-depth.
DurationThe first section of this CME course will focus on the evaluation of the EKG including intervals, waves, hypertrophy, heart blocks, and infarction patterns. The second section will apply these principles to the interpretation and evaluation of the EKG and its relationship to clinical abnormalities such as pericarditis, electrolyte effects, as well as technical problems, lead reversal, and errors in the EKG tracing.
The third section will include both unknown EKG’s as well as interactive clinical case discussions. This course assumes the learner understands the basics of EKG’s, however, brief reviews will ‘‘refresh’’ concepts for each topic and discussion will be more in-depth.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this activity, the participant should be better able to:
Compute the mathematical evaluation of the resting EKG, e.g., rates, interval lengths (blocks), QRS vectors (axis), etc.
Identify EKG abnormalities and review proper treatment and management.
Correctly interpret composite EKG findings and relate to clinical situations.
Analyze cardiac arrhythmias and summarize the proper treatment.
Differentiate non-pathologic from pathologic abnormalities frequently seen on the EKG, e.g., lead reversal, technical errors.
Mission
The mission of National Procedures Institute is to promote quality, cost-effective patient care by providing continuing medical education on procedural skills for primary care physicians. By learning procedural skills, primary care physicians improve continuity of care, provide care that is more comprehensive, reduce liability risks, and enjoy an enhanced practice style. It is our goal for physicians to experience a more satisfying career and for patients to benefit from more personal, high quality, advanced medical care.
History of NPI
In 1989, John L. Pfenninger, MD, founded National Procedures Institute to teach outpatient diagnostic and therapeutic procedural skills to primary care physicians. The philosophy behind NPI emphasizes care for the whole patient, not just the classroom mechanics of the procedure. In 2008, Dr. Pfenninger sold NPI to a joint venture of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, and the Texas Academy of Family Physicians. NPI is currently owned by the Texas Academy of Family Physicians.
