This self-paced course prepares an individual to evaluate and assess victims with potential symptoms of myocardial infarction, interpret their ECG for signs of STEMI, and activate a system of care for rapid reperfusion of an occluded coronary artery.
It also supports the efforts of the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline™, a national initiative to improve quality of care and outcomes in heart attack patients by improving healthcare systems’ readiness and response to STEMI patients.

Includes:

• Understanding STEMI Systems of Care

• Basics of ACS and triage of STEMI patients

• Acquiring high-quality, 12 lead ECGs

• 12-lead findings that mimic STEMI

• Practice 12-lead ECG test

• 2-part AHA exam

Students who successfully pass the cognitive and ECG recognition post-course tests can receive a completion certificate and are eligible for CE credits.
