During this webinar Dr. Niek Beijerink will discuss the application of normal cardiac anatomy and physiology. First, an overview of the circulatory system will be provided, information will be provided on normal heart sounds, as well as information on the normal electrocardiogram. Second, a few case examples will be discussed, applying the normal physiological principles.

In this presentation Andrew Fisher aims to give an overview of bradyarrhythmias for nurses who work in general practice. 

Cardiac emergencies require urgent attention, and delay of treatment to these patients may cause fatalities. Understanding how the condition will affect the patient is key to understanding treatment efficacy and the importance of the nurse’s role within the management of these patients. This webinar will take an in-depth look at emergency management and treatment of common cardiac emergencies that present to the ER. Specific topics will include congestive heart failure, arrhythmia's, and pericardial effusion. During this one-hour session, top tips and deeper understanding of pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, treatment and nursing considerations will be addressed. A comprehensive focus on ECG interpretation and introduction to ultrasound techniques through case studies will help the nurse with case management.
