Description

Have you ever wondered why your patient with an inferior MI is experiencing bradycardias or why your patient with heart failure is taking an ACE inhibitor?

Or are you perplexed by ejection fractions, let alone hemodynamics?

If you struggle to explain to your patients which blood vessel perfuses which part of the heart, why they have an arrhythmia, or how their heart failure is causing kidney problems, you should work with Cathy Lockett, RN, MHA, BSN, CCRN-K, a mentor who can really make the information easy and understandable.

This session is ideal for all healthcare professionals who wish to enhance their assessment abilities, create a solid foundation of cardiac anatomy and physiology, and use these skills in everyday patient care. It is designed with the bedside clinician in mind. Understanding these fundamental ideas will allow you to identify patient issues quicker and respond to them more effectively. Cathy’s teaching approach encourages an open and involved dialogue. You will leave with a methodical approach to interpreting EKGs, a better grasp of common cardiac diseases, and a reinvigorated dedication to patient care quality.
