Introduction to the 12 Lead ECG

Any healthcare provider that would like initial and/or refresher training in the 12 Lead ECG, including EMTs, Paramedics, nurses, etc.

This course serves as an introduction to the 12 Lead ECG by reviewing when it is indicated, how to properly apply the 12 Lead ECG, and how to interpret more advanced rhythms.  The course will also feature a more advanced curriculum by discussing various heart conditions such as Pericarditis, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Myocarditis, COPD, Acute Pulmonary Embolism, CNS Disease, and Athlete’s Heart.  If you do not have a basic understanding of ECGs and Cardiac Anatomy we suggest that you attend Obsidian’s other course, Cardiac Anatomy and Basic ECG Rhythms.
