SYnopsis
This workshop’s content is considered essential knowledge for any nurse working in the areas of ward telemetry, coronary care, critical care and emergency nursing.
It also applies to the ward nurse wanting to upskill their knowledge of interpreting arrhythmias. Understanding the ‘famous five’ basics of ECG interpretation will significantly aid the nurse in recognising any deviation from the normal.
Midwives are also encouraged to attend this workshop as it will address the presentation of a condition called SCAD that can occur in the post-partum period with no traditional risk factors.
This short workshop emphasises how to interpret a myocardial infarction on a 12-lead ECG. Without other information taking away from this essential skill.
Applicable for the nurse who only wants to upskill or learn to accurately and quickly how to recognise a myocardial infarction.
This workshop will explore how early diagnosis leads to timely treatment and reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery.
Seminar Learning Outcomes
At this workshop, you will:
-
- Describe how to work out the essential parameters: PR interval, QRS width, QT interval and relate this to the ‘famous five’ technique of rapid interpretation
- Identify the two most common myocardial infarctions: anterior and inferior
- Understand the significance of new Q waves and ST elevation on a 12 lead ECG
- Explain the significance of performing a 12 lead ECG on a woman with chest pain in the post-partum period
You will learn
- How to recognise an acute myocardial infarction on a 12 lead ECG
- How to quickly analyse a rhythm strip using the ‘famous five’ analysis hints
- How to differential between ST elevation, ST depression and T wave inversion
- Recognise how angina presents on a 12 lead ECG
- Demonstrate how to interpret on a 12 lead ECG an acute anterior or inferior STEMI in three steps
- Demonstrate how to perform a 12 lead ECG accurately

Happy attendees
The course was easy to follow due to the presenters clear passion for her subject. It was paced perfectly and every aspect was interesting and relevant. It has given me more confidence to begin to properly analyse why we are monitoring our patients and given me a good foundation to begin interpreting the rhythms. The presenter [Anne] is easily the best thing about the event, and the infectious passion for the subject.
Anne made ECG’s understandable. Excellent conference. I feel empowered with the ability to confidently read ECG’s and GP’s to review patients immediately if required. Thank you.
The fear and uncertainty of reading ECGs and telemetry is something I don’t need to feel anymore now I have the confidence to apply Anne’s Famous 5 step process to interpret heart rhythms. If you feel anxious when faced with an ECG or telemetry monitor then this course will change all that!
