Advanced 12 Lead EKG Interpretation Seminar- A spooktacular event with costume contest and more.....

Dear all,

Dallas County Chapter invites you to attend the Advanced 12 Lead EKG Interpretation Seminar.  Our goal is to provide nurses with knowledge and skills through evidence-based education. We offer this at a meager price of $50 for members and $75 for non-members. The money goes back to the nurses to celebrate nursing events.

This dynamic 2-day course will provide the registered nurse with the knowledge and skills required to interpret changes on the 12-lead ECG. The course will begin with a review of leads and the basic patterns of the standard 12-lead ECG. From this foundation, through both brief lectures and skill-based on practice, participants will focus on relating how pathophysiologic cardiac conditions manifest on the 12-lead ECG. Special emphasis will be given to understanding and interpreting cardiac axis changes, atrial and ventricular conduction abnormalities, and the QT interval. The course will conclude with a focus on the evolving concept of acute coronary syndrome, including unstable angina/non-STEMI and STEMI identification and management.
