Original Release Date: July 1, 2019
Expiration Date: July 1, 2022

Topics & Objectives:
TOPIC 1: Normal/Abnormal P waves, PR intervals and QRS complexes. 
Upon completion of this session, the participant should be able to: COMP

• Distinguish P waves originating outside the SA node.
• Differentiate PR intervals that indicate AV conduction from those that do not.
• Appraise the appropriateness of the QRS intervals in relation to the leads in which they appear
• Distinguish normal septal q waves from pathological Q waves.

TOPIC 2: AVNRT: Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia.
Upon completion of this session, the participant should be able to:COMP

• Relate the typical P wave changes in AVNRT relative to the QRS complex
• Relate the mechanism of AVNRT and how that knowledge is used to terminate the dysrhythmia
• Distinguish AVNRT from a rapid atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction

TOPIC 3: Reciprocal changes: What are they and how do they help? | Timeline for ST – T Resolution Post-MI.
Upon completion of this session, the participant should be able to: COMP

• Differentiate between ST depression as an indication of subendocardial ischemia or as a reciprocal change
• Utilize serial 12-lead ECGs to detect subtle changes in the ST segment when the initial ECG is non-diagnostic
• Detect dysrhythmias characteristic and diagnostic of reperfusion
• Relate current ST deviation in relation to the elapsed time following reperfusion
