EANATOMY OF THE HEART, READING AN EKG

This course provides a brief summary and overview of the heart's components and functional properties as background for a discussion about electrocardiogram (EKG) interpretation. It also provides guidance on calculating heart rate on the EKG, autonomic nervous system effects, and how to assess sinus rhythm.

After completing this course, you should be able to:
  • Define the heart's electrophysiologic properties, electrical conduction and mechanical response systems
  • Interpret normal EKG waveforms
  • Calculate heart rate on the EKG
  • Assess the effects of the autonomic nervous system
  • Assess normal sinus rhythm

    NORMAL HEART SOUNDS

    Cardiac auscultation provides information about the rate and rhythm of the heart, valve functioning and possible anatomical defects. It requires knowledge of what heart sounds are normal and a methodical approach with careful attention to the sounds produced during the cardiac cycle. This program provides nurses and other healthcare professionals with a thorough understanding of the various normal heart sounds, and examples of these sounds to provide a basis for differentiating normal and abnormal sounds.

    THE ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF HEART SOUNDS

    Familiarity with normal and abnormal heart sounds provides the foundation for many clinical assessments. This program focuses on cardiac auscultation, or listening to the sounds produced by the heart, a skill that can be lost without review and practice. It will review the anatomy and physiology of the heart and the sounds it produces as it works.

    After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
  • Describe the anatomy and physiology of the heart
  • Describe the cardiac cycle
  • Identify the main events displayed on the electrocardiograph tracing
  • Break down and identify the heart sounds and explain why each sound occurs
