• The NEED TO KNOW Arrhythmias
• Cardiac Conditions: What is Actually Happening?
• The ABCs of Cardiac Medications
• Heart Failure: Which Organs are Really Affected?

Is it possible that your patent with a myocardial infarction will have dyspnea?

Do you have a hard time explaining how beta-blockers work?

Is it possible that you become confused about hemodynamics?

If you can’t explain to your patients why they have an arrhythmia or why their heart failure is causing their kidneys problems, then you need to join Cynthia L. Webner, DNP, RN.

Designed with the bedside clinician in mind, this seminar is appropriate for all healthcare professionals wanting to improve their assessment skills, build a firm foundation of cardiac anatomy and physiology and apply these skills in daily patient care. Understanding the concepts will help you find the patient more quickly. Cynthia has a teaching style that allows for an informal discussion. A renewed commitment to achieving excellence in patient care is what you will leave with.

OBJECTIVES

1. Describe the basic electrophysiology of the heart: Electrical versus mechanical function.
2. Utilize the “Thumbs Technique” to determine the ventricular axis of the heart.
3. Review the more common cardiac arrhythmias and discuss the causes.
4. Define hemodynamic principles in the body.
5. Relate coronary artery perfusion to cardiac musculature and the conduction system.
6. Interpret ischemia, injury, and infarction patterns on a 12-lead ECG, 15-lead, and right-sided ECG.
7. Integrate new evidenced-based guidelines to treat Acute Coronary Syndrome.
8. Explain the process of valvular dysfunction and state treatments for aortic and mitral valve disease.
9. Describe heart failure and relate physical assessment findings to hemodynamic parameters in a patient with decompensated heart failure.
10. State the evidenced-based treatments to include medications and invasive procedures for chronic and acute heart failure.
11. Differentiate dilated from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
12. Discuss pericarditis to include causes, ECG changes and treatment modalities.
