This 12-lead EKG presentation is designed to refamiliarize nurse practitioners (NPs) with EKG basics. Upon completing this lecture, the NP will be able to name the characteristics of a normal EKG, differentiate between right and left axis deviation, and describe changes that occur with bundle branch block, chamber enlargement, and other related conditions. Other topics covered in this presentation include:
- Systematic approaches
- Anatomy of a 12-lead EKG
- EKG basics (e.g., quadrant method, normal axis, axis deviations)
- Ischemia, injury, and infarction
- 10+ EKG case studies
