Learning Objectives
Blueprint ID Learning Objectives
8942 describe the most common pro-arrhythmic disorders: a) Disorders of impulse formation and b) Disorders of impulse conduction
8943 explain their relationships with the most common clinical cardiac arrhythmias
8944 Identify the components of the electrocardiogram, and relate these to the electrical events in the heart
8945 Describe the proper use of the normal and augmented limb leads (I, II, III, aVL, aVF) and the prechordial leads (V1 to V6) and the position of the positive electrode in relation to the heart with each of these leads
8946 Describe the relationship of the spread of depolarization and the type of QRS pattern observed in relation to the positive electrode
8947 Measure heart rate (using the countdown, 3 second interval and exact method) and identify normal rhythm
8948 Identify normal vs. abnormal p to QRS relationships
8949 Identify normal PR, QRS and QT interval and QRS vectors in an ECG
8950 Describe what a QRS vector represents, and what right and left axis deviation means
8951 Demonstrate how to approximate QRS vector in an ECG using methods other than direct calculation (i.e., if you were given an isoelectric QRS pattern in a given lead could you estimate the QRS vector or could you guess the approximate QRS vector based on the amplitude of the R waves in the limb leads)
