| 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) |
