CARD 120 Rhythm Analysis and 12-lead ECG
The purpose of this course is to prepare students to recognize and interpret the various features of the electrocardiogram (ECG). Emphasis is placed on ECG patterns and components, cardiac conduction and regulation, normal values of ECG components, SA nodal, AV nodal and ventricular arrhythmias, and disorders of the cardiac conduction system. Practical application of ECG theory incorporated with arrhythmia detection will prepare the student to recognize abnormal conduction patterns of clients in various clinical settings. Content will also review normal cardiac anatomy, waveform nomenclature, electrode placement, vectors, and Einthoven's triangle. Stress Testing and Holter Monitoring will also be discussed.
