By attending you will also gain an understanding of how EKG tracings are created through a brief review of cardiac electrical pathways and the cardiac conduction system. Other topics discussed will be common arrhythmias in dogs and cats, and how to optimize EKG tracings though machine settings and patient manipulation.
By attending this webinar, you will be able to:
- Understand how cardiac electrical conditions create changes on an EKG tracing
- Execute a seven-step process to interpret EKG tracings
- Discriminate arrhythmias based on their origins
- Identify life threatening tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias
