Pulmonary Hypertension:

12 Lead ECG and Graded Exercise Testing

 
Register Now 1.5 Content Hours $19
Only $19 for the short course (1.5 CEs)

Course Description:
For those who are accustomed to reading the ECGs of cardiac patients and dealing with cardiac patients with cardiac symptoms, testing the patient with pulmonary hypertension who has not yet been diagnosed can be confusing for the cardiac clinician whose first inclination is to look for myocardial ischemia and interpret shortness of breath as an anginal equivalent.

This seminar will provide diagnostic criteria for differentiating the 12-lead ECG of a patient with pulmonary hypertension from a normal ECG. It will also present symptoms the clinician might anticipate when performing a graded exercise test on such a patient.  Those who are  interested in this presentation might also find the Pulmonary Hypertension:  Clinical Implications for Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation presentation,  of interest.

Who Should Be Interested:
Any clinican working with Cardiopulmonary Patients including Program Directors and Coordinators, Nurses, Respiratory Care Practioners, Exercise Physiologists, PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs and ATCs.
