Student Performance

1. Course Description

This course will help students master the practical competencies of electrocardiography, identify and differentiate between various cardiac dysrhythmias, and understand legal, ethical, and special considerations in regards to electrocardiography.  Students will be fully engaged in learning through lectures, actives, hands on experience, the textbook and online adaptive learning.

2. Course Overview/Goals

The course is designed in an eight week format focusing on all aspects of electrocardiography, including 12-lead ECG testing, ambulatory monitoring, and the concepts of exercise electrocardiography.  Additionally, the cardiac cycle, major dysrhythmias, and cardiac disorders are reviewed.  Legal, ethical, and patient communication considerations in terms of electrocardiography are discussed, and students will perform 12-lead electrocardiogram testing and the steps required for ambulatory monitor testing. 

3. Course Objectives

 

 Learning objectives for the student includes:

1. Describe the history and importance of the ECG.
2. Identify the uses for the ECG and the opportunities for an electrocardiographer.
3. Troubleshoot legal, ethical, patient education, and communication issues related to the ECG.
4. Perform safety and infection control measures required for the ECG.
5. Compare basic vital sign measurements related to the ECG.
6. Explain how circulation occurs in relation to the ECG.
7. Recall the structures of the heart including the valves, chambers, and vessels.
8. Differentiate among pulmonary, systemic, and coronary circulation.
9. Explain the cardiac cycle including the difference between systole and diastole.
