Dr. Carrie Harvey, Associate Professor in the School of Nursing, recently presented at the national clinical conference of the American College of Nurse Practitioners in Denver, Colorado.  Over 200 health professionals attended her session entitled, “A Systematic Approach to 12 Lead ECG Interpretation.”  The session provided the nurse practitioner with a systematic approach to interpreting the 12 lead ECG. Participants were briefed on major physiologic underpinnings using actual case studies and electrocardiograms.  Normal and abnormal 12 lead ECGs were reviewed and a stepwise interpretation
approach was introduced.
