The most common procedures used to diagnose a wide variety of cardiac and respiratory conditions are the EKG and Chest X-Ray. You can learn to recognize borderline and abnormal findings by watching this recording. You will learn easy-to- understand techniques to identify coronary and pulmonary problems in this information-packed program expert. Don’t miss this chance to learn.

• Analyze QRS axis to determine diagnosis
• Contrast left anterior and posterior hemiblocks
• Recognize the location of acute coronary syndromes
• Interpret chest x-rays for differential diagnosis
• Perform more efficient and effective patient assessments
• And most importantly, respond to the patient emergencies associated with each of these changes!

1. Analyze EKG changes associated with ischemia, injury and infarction patterns.
2. Specify the features of right bundle branch block from the features of left bundle branch block.
3. Evaluate axis deviation and the implications for clinical practice.
4. Assess common cardiac and pulmonary disorders using the chest x-ray.
5. Detect the placement of invasive lines on chest x-rays.
6. Develop a systematic approach to chest x-ray interpretation.
7. Incorporate the clinical pearls of EKG and chest x-ray interpretation into daily practice.

The ABCs of 12-Lead EKG Interpretation is part I.

The EKG has 12-leads.

• Cardiac electrical conduction system
• Electrical vectors
• Normal polarity & P-QRS-T configuration of each lead

The axis should be ace.

• Left & right axis deviation
• Causes & criteria
• Methods of determining axis deviation
• Clinical applications

Beat the bundles.

• Right & left bundle branch blocks
• Causes & complications
• Left anterior & left posterior hemiblocks

Correlate the arteries.

• The coronary arteries
• Left ventricular walls
• Relationship to the 12-lead

Acute Coronary Syndrome has a differential diagnosis.

• Ischemia, injury & infarction patterns
• Reciprocal changes
• STEMI vs. NSTEMI
• Coronary spasm
• Takotsubo cardiomyopathy

Putting it all together.

• The 30-second diagnosis
• Coronary angiographic correlation
• Presentations, analysis & clinical applications

Interpretation that is advanced.

• Atrial & ventricular hypertrophy
• WPW – Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
• Prolonged QT intervals

Interpretation of Chest X-Ray is easy.

The X-Ray of the chest.

• Technique
• Black & white principles
• Projections

The approach is systematic.

• Bone structures & Intercostal spaces
• Soft tissues & vasculature
• Pleural surfaces
• Heart & great vessels
• Invasive lines

As easy as black.

• Identifying pneumothorax & subcutaneous emphysema
• Treatment priorities

As easy as white.

• Identifying:
  • Pleural Effusion
  • Pulmonary Edema
  • Pneumonia
  • ARDS
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Cardiac Tamponade
• Clinical applications & interventions

Beyond the basics.

• Identification & Initial Treatment of:
  • Aortic aneurysm
  • Post-op changes with pneumonectomy
  • Esophagogastrectomy
  • Dextrocardia
