Basic Rhythms

What is actually blocked any bundle branch block?  And when should I worry?  How can I tell if it is AFIB or SVT if it is fast?  Q waves: when should I care?  To learn the answers to these questions and more join me in this class! 

12 Lead Made Easy

.This is a one-hour basic 12 lead review. Review normal cardiac conduction, normal EKGs, normal intervals and wave morphology, and some basic rhythm interpretation.
Learn how to assess heart rate using the EKG and just a rhythm strip and how to trouble-shoot the EKG (artifact and 60 cycle interference). The PQRST model of EKG interpretation will be discussed.

Behind The Scenes of Your Cardiology Consult

Have you ever wondered what happens when you refer a patient to cardiology? What are we really thinking when you send over that resistant hypertension patient? 
(It's not what you think!) We will also discuss: 
1. What non specific T wave changes are important...
2. How to start the work up on a patient with palpitations and what to do when treatment fails... 
3. What can we do about syncope? What is that thing you put in my patients chest? 
4. What about the new phone apps? Are they any good?

ACS

See a case unfold of a 56 y/o male that presented to his PMD with chest pain and the EKG changes that were present to predict the cardiac arrest he had in the hospital....review what medications that are prescribed to a patient when they are discharged and why they come to your office so fatigued in follow up (No its not the bad sleep they get as inpatients). Review the Non specific T wave changes and why if you just use the machine interpretation you are sending people home to have MI if you miss these 3 findings...and so much more!

Cardiac Mixology

A review of the CHF Margarita and how to "season to taste". 

Why Omeprazole is not optimal in cardiac patients who have had stents and what other drug to use instead. 

Why we often "Rob Peter to pay Paul" when it comes to the kidney and the heart in CHF.

• Which anticoagulant is the safest
• Which patients need anticoagulation
• What to do when you can’t anticoagulate your patient
• How to risk stratify your patient for stroke when they have AF

Challenging Cases Workshop

TO Die or Not To Die

This course is a look into some young people that either had cardiac arrest or some near misses. It includes the following cases: 

1.  A 24-year-old female who came the hospital for hypoglycemia who went home with 2 stents

2.  A 30-year-old female who was told she was anxious but had something for worse

3.  A 38-year-old female who came in for cough and expected to go home with a Z-Pak to went home with something worse

4.  A patient who had a life-threatening finding found after he had a syncopal event

5.  A very young female who came in for rash who ended getting transferred with a life-threatening diagnosis
