Program Summary
Cadaver heart images combined with graphic cardiac images are used to depict critical and functional heart anatomy and physiology. The “What Happens When” segment stresses the correlation of the cardiac cycle with the electrical conduction system of the heart. Prospective and retrospective gating are defined and explained as they apply to cardiac CTA and the ECG.

Objectives:
With 80% proficiency, as a result of this activity, participants will learn the following:
  • The anatomy & physiology of the heart as it relates to the ECG;
  • The electrical conduction system of the heart as it relates to the ECG; and,
  • Prospective & retrospective gating as it relates to the ECG.
