The Heart in Detail – Cynthia L. Webner

Did you ever wonder why your patent with a myocardial infarction will have dyspnea?

Or have a hard time explaining how beta-blockers work?

Or become confused about ejection fractions, let alone hemodynamics?

If you have a hard time explaining to your patients about which blood vessel perfuses what part of the heart, or why they have an arrhythmia, or how their heart failure is causing their kidney problems, then you need to join Cynthia L. Webner, DNP, RN, CCNS, CCRN-CMC, CHFN, a mentor who can really make the information easy and understandable.

Designed with the bedside clinician in mind, this seminar is appropriate for all healthcare professionals wanting to improve their assessment skills, build a firm foundation of cardiac anatomy and physiology and apply these skills in daily patient care. Understanding these essential concepts will help you find patient complications faster and respond to them more appropriately. Cynthia’s teaching style allows for an informal interactive discussion. You will leave with a systematic approach to interpreting ECGs, an understanding of common cardiac pathologies, and a renewed commitment to achieving excellence in patient care.

OBJECTIVES

1. Describe the basic electrophysiology of the heart: Electrical versus mechanical function.
2. Utilize the “Thumbs Technique” to determine the ventricular axis of the heart.
3. Review the more common cardiac arrhythmias and discuss the causes.
4. Define hemodynamic principles in the body.
5. Relate coronary artery perfusion to cardiac musculature and the conduction system.
6. Interpret ischemia, injury, and infarction patterns on a 12-lead ECG, 15-lead, and right-sided ECG.
7. Integrate new evidenced-based guidelines to treat Acute Coronary Syndrome.
8. Explain the process of valvular dysfunction and state treatments for aortic and mitral valve disease.
9. Describe heart failure and relate physical assessment findings to hemodynamic parameters in a patient with decompensated heart failure.
10. State the evidenced-based treatments to include medications and invasive procedures for chronic and acute heart failure.
11. Differentiate dilated from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
12. Discuss pericarditis to include causes, ECG changes and treatment modalities.
    

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    1. Innovative Business Model:
       • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
    2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
       • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
    3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
       • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
         • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
         • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
         • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
         • No direct email support from the author or their team.

       We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

    Refund is acceptable:

    • Firstly, item is not as explained
    • Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
    • Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.
