Nurse Practitioner ECG practice

Specialties NP

Published

I thought it might be good practice for us to have an interesting clinical problem each week. Maybe even more often.

Look at this ECG and decide what you think. Infero-lateral infarct, acute inferior infarct with right ventricular involvement or normal ECG.

You can give your rationale if you so choose. If not, it will be given later.

Good luck and have fun!!!!!!!!!

how tricky of u, hmmm right precordial leads to confuse myself with the anterior wall involvement...j/k

Hey, I even showed this to a seasoned cardiospecialist who flippantly looked at it and missed it!!!!!!!

Hope you enjoyed this.

Go vote in the poll regarding doing this every week.

I think you need to share that tool, lalaxton!!

No problem, unless you work for the company. :) There are many sites that we link to for school, treaching, etc.

I am so glad that all appreciate this new thread. Hope to see you here for the weekly (or more often) clinical presentations.

Oh, well...........you realized what you had done and no harm done..

I will be starting the Weekly Clinical Presentations in about a week after tying up some loose ends after the Katrina debacle.

When you see changes in almost all leads you especially think of a global problem like pericarditis. Especially if some of the changes are there but nonspecific.

Yes, I would have voted for pericarditis as well, but, as you see, I purposely left that out of one of the multiple choice answers. :)

Ya'll have done soooo well on this!!! :balloons:
