Cathy Lockett – The Heart in Detail

• The NEED TO KNOW Arrhythmias
• Cardiac Conditions: What’s Really Happening?
• The ABCs of Cardiac Medicines
• Heart Failure: Which Organs Are Really Affected?

Have you ever wondered why a patent with a myocardial Infarction would have dyspnea.

Or, you are having trouble explaining what beta is.-Blockers work?

You may also get confused about hemodynamics or ejection fractions.

You should join if your patients have difficulty understanding which blood vessel perfuses which section of their hearts, why they have an arrhythmia or why their kidney problems are caused by their heart failure. Cathy LockettRN, MHA. BSN. CCRN EMERITUS. A mentor who can make it easy to understand.

Constructed with the bedside doctor in mind in The seminar is suitable for all healthcare professionals looking to improve their assessment skills and build a solid foundation in cardiac anatomy, physiology and how to apply these skills. in Everyday patient care. These concepts will allow you to quickly identify patient problems and respond more effectively. Cathy’s teaching style allows for an informal interactive discussion. You will learn how to interpret ECGs and understand common cardiac diseases. in Patient care

OBJECTIVES

1. Explain the basics of electrophysiology: Mechanical versus electrical function.
2. Use the “Thumbs Technique” Determine the ventricular axis.
3. Consider the more common arrhythmias of the heart and talk about their causes.
4. Definition of hemodynamic principles in The body.
5. Relationship between coronary artery fusion and cardiac musculature.
6. Interpretation of ischemia, injury, or infarction patterns on a 12-Lead ECG 15-Lead, and do right-ECG with side-by-side.
7. New evidence should be incorporated-Guidelines for treating Acute Coronary Syndrome.
8. Describe the causes of valvular dysfunction, and how to treat it.
9. Discuss heart failure and link physical assessment results to hemodynamic parameters in A patient with decompensated cardiomyopathy.
10. Describe the evidence-The following treatments can be used to treat chronic and acute heart failure.
11. Differentiate between hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy.
12. Pericarditis can be discussed to discuss causes, ECG changes, and treatment options.
