In this information-packed program cardiac expert, Cathy Lockett, RN, MHA, BSN, CCRN-K, will teach you easy-to-understand techniques to identify ischemia, injury, infarct and STEMI imposters. Improve your skills and be prepared to respond to the patient emergencies associated with each of these changes.

1. Evaluate coronary artery perfusion and the relationship to cardiac musculature and the conduction system.
2. Specify the six limb and precordial leads, the RV lead and three posterior leads.
3. Utilize a systematic approach to interpret EKGs.
4. Assess ischemia, injury and infarction pattern on a 12-lead EKG.
