Myocardial Ischemia and Infarction: Comprehensive ECG Interpretation for Cardiac Events
Welcome to Myocardial Ischemia and Infarction, a focused learning path designed to provide a deep understanding of the ECG changes associated with myocardial ischemia and infarction. This educational journey, structured as a series of courses, each composed of multiple lessons, aims to equip learners with the skills to identify and interpret critical ECG findings indicative of ischemic heart disease and acute coronary events.

Learning Path Structure

• Targeted Exploration of Ischemic Heart Disease: Myocardial Ischemia and Infarction comprises courses dedicated to understanding the ECG manifestations of ischemia and infarction.
• Sequential Lesson Format: Each course is structured into lessons that build knowledge progressively, focusing on different aspects of myocardial ischemia and infarction.
• Integration of Theory and Practice: The courses merge theoretical knowledge with practical ECG interpretation, reinforced by real-world case studies and examples.
• Estimated Learning Time: 8.0 hours

Learning Objectives
Upon completing the courses in this learning path, learners should be able to:

• Describe ST-Segment and T Wave Changes in Ischemia: Learn to recognize ECG changes, particularly in the ST-segment and T wave, that suggest myocardial ischemia.
• Understand STEMI Criteria on ECG: Comprehend the specific ECG findings necessary to fulfill the criteria for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
• Identify Myocardial Ischemia and Injury on ECG: Develop the ability to detect signs of ischemia and injury in standard 12-lead ECG readings.
• Localize Myocardial Injury: Gain skills in localizing myocardial injury to various heart regions and corresponding coronary arteries.
• Interpret Ischemia with Conduction Abnormalities: Describe and identify ECG findings associated with myocardial ischemia in the context of left bundle branch block (LBBB) or ventricular-paced rhythms.

Please note, participation in this learning path does not automatically imply competence in ECG interpretation but is a significant step towards it.

Target Audience

• Healthcare Professionals and Students: This path is highly beneficial for medical practitioners, students, and residents who wish to enhance their ECG interpretation skills, especially in acute care settings.
• Emergency and Cardiac Care Providers: Essential for professionals in emergency medicine, cardiology, and critical care who frequently encounter patients with cardiac events.
• Advanced Lifelong Learners: Suitable for individuals with a foundational understanding of ECG interpretation, seeking to specialize in cardiac emergency response and care.
