Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to
1. identify Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Metabolic Syndrome;
2. identify signs and symptoms of Acute Coronary Syndrome;
3. identify diagnostic criteria for Unstable Angina, STEMI (ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction), and NSTEMI (Non ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction);
4. discuss ECG findings while comparing and contrasting ST segment differences in Unstable Angina, STEMI, and NSTEMI;
5. discuss the evidence-based practice medical/nursing management for care of the Acute Coronary Syndrome patient;
6. discuss the potential complications of Acute Myocardial Infarction;
7. differentiate left and right ventricular failure, as well as medical management of each; and
8. discuss hemodynamic principles in the following patient populations: cardiogenic shock secondary to left ventricular failure, right ventricular infarction, papillary muscle rupture, acute ventricular septal defect, pulmonary emboli, and hypovolemic shock.
