    Description
    The second in a three-course 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation series. Building on the principles introduced in EMS 412 , this course focuses on recognizing and interpreting ECG changes associated with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and conduction system abnormalities. Students will develop the skills to differentiate ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) from non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) and identify bundle branch and fascicular blocks. Additional leads and STEMI equivalents will also be explored to enhance accuracy in patient assessment and management.
