The Marriott Heart Foundation offers Prep Courses for Board Certification in Cardiology, and
CE Courses through our Partnership with the American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine, where you can become Board Certified in as a Cardiac Nurse, Cardiac Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, ECG Monitor Tech, or Physician in any level of Electrocardiography.
CE credits are issued by the American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine who is an approved provider of continuing education by the Florida Department of Education.
Provider number 50-29846. CE credits are approved by reciprocity in all states in the United States which means they may be used toward license renewal or recertification in any state or with any agency such as the AACN, ANCC, ABCM, etc.
The following CE courses are ideal for all levels of cardiac nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and cardiology fellows and medical students.

This course provides an introduction to SCAD, identifies the epidemiology and predisposing etiology and pathogenesis, the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and the use of angiography in identifying the condition and management protocols.
This course presents the Surgical and Transvenous Management Options for CABG, Mitral and Aortic valve repair and replacements, TAVR, MAZE, and LAA Ligation procedures.
This course provides a look into the use of invasive hemodynamic monitoring in the early identification and treatment of a host of life-threatening conditions, evaluates patients' response and provides overall effectiveness of cardiovascular function during treatment.
This course provides a deep look into the evaluation and management of patients with bradycardias and conduction delay issues with device therapy, as well as the troubleshooting techniques for pacemakers, ICDs, and a look into cardiac resynchronization therapy, leadless and subcutaneous devices.
In this course, we learn to identify the pathophysiology, risk factors, symptoms and incidence, how to differentiate between functional and organic disease, diagnostics and medical vs surgical management. It also covers upper and lower extremity disease such ad carotid artery and aortic aneurysms and dissection, and lower limb disease processes involving deep veins.
This course presents the cardiovascular pathogenesis, role of underlying cardiovascular comorbidities, cardiovascular system manifestations in patients with COVID 19, and post-acute sequalae of COVID 19 (PACS), and finally a look at ongoing implications.
This practice exam was developed to assist the participant in preparing for their CVNP or CVPA Board Certification Examination.
This category was developed for advanced practice nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, cardiology fellows, and physicians in clinical practice. ECG Technicians welcomed.
In this lesson we present each lead in the 12-lead ECG, its normal shapes, and we then teach how to use the 12-lead ECG to painlessly calculate the electrical axis by the "Handy Method" and exact degree method.
In this lesson we present clinical pearls in the identification of right and left bundle branch block morphologies and a series of case studies for self-diagnosis with answers and clinical commentary.
This lesson presents the concept of ventricular aberration and clinical pearls to assist in differentiating the forms of aberration. We present several case studies for self-diagnosis, complete with answers and clinical commentary.
In this lesson we provide clinical pearls for the diagnosis of left anterior and left posterior hemiblock and trifascicular heart block. A case study is presented along with recap questions to assist in retention of the concepts presented.
In this lesson we present many clinical pearls in the diagnosis of atrial rhythms notably atrial premature beats, escape beats, atrial fibrillation and flutter, and how to identify atrial fibrillation in the presence of the WPW syndrome. We also provide a series of case studies for self-diagnosis complete with answers and clinical commentary.
In this lesson on junctional arrhythmias, we present ectopic junctional tachycardia, AV nodal reentrant tachycardia, and the mechanisms of AVNRT, as well as the concept of Pre-Excitation presenting with orthodromic and antidromic tachycardias.
We provide clinical pearls for the diagnosis of wide QRS patterns and several case studies for self-diagnosis, complete with answers and clinical commentary.
Here we provide clinical pearls in the differentiation of left and right ventricular rhythms, escape rhythms, accelerated rhythms, and ventricular tachycardias. We also provide case studies for self-diagnosis complete with answers and clinical commentary.
In this lesson we focus on monitoring protocols for the diagnosis of junctional rhythms as well the use of the 12-lead in complicated rhythms. We focus on not only premature, but escape beats, accelerated rhythms and tachycardias at the junctional level.
In this lesson we present tons of clinical pearls as this is one of the most difficult topics for practitioners to grasp with a focus on monitoring protocols for AV block, first degree, 2nd degree types I and II, and complete AV block.
In this lesson we focus on monitoring protocols for electrolyte disturbances for hyper and hypokalemia, and hyper and hypocalcemia.
In this lesson we focus on using the 12-lead ECG to diagnose various areas of ischemia and the culprit arteries involved, notably the following zones: septal, anterior, anterior septal, anterior lateral, inferior, inferior right ventricular, inferior posterior, and lateral wall ischemia. And last but not least we focus on the 10 patterns suggestive of myocardial ischemia as learning that they exist is critical to not missing the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia.
In this lesson we present the 5 known patterns suggestive of myocardial infarction with emphasis on the less obvious infarction, zones of injury as identified in the 12-lead and 18 lead ECG. We also focus on monitoring protocols for each zone of injury and identify reciprocal imagery and evolution of the infarction.
This practice exam was developed to assist the participant in preparing for the 12-Lead ECG Board Certification Exam.
This group of lessons were specifically developed for cardia monitor technicians, cardiac nurses and medical students, but is also a suitable review for nurse practitioners and physician assistants embarking on a career in cardiology.
In this lesson we present the learner with a detailed checklist for analyzing an ECG, how to monitor patients with varying conditions, with a heavy emphasis on lead placement, and an introduction to the normal shapes of P-QRS-T-U waves seen in the gold standard leads in bedside monitoring (V1 and V6), and finally a look at the normal shapes found in lead 2. A must for everyone involved in cardiac monitoring. Add a description about this item
In this lesson we present the bundle branch block patterns right and left, and their mimics right and left ventricular rhythms, with heavy emphasis on morphological patterns seen in the gold standard leads V1 and V6. In addition, we present the concept of escape and accelerated rhythms and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome as the fifth cause of a wide QRS pattern.
In this lesson we present atrial premature beats conducted normally, those not conducted, and those conducted with bundle branch block. Then we present atrial fibrillation with controlled and rapid conduction as well as atrial fibrillation with complete AV block and ensuant escape rhythms, then finally we present atrial flutter with 4:1 and varying conduction ratios.
In this lesson we present junctional premature beats conducted normally and those conducted with right and left bundle branch block aberration, then escape junctional beats, accelerated junctional rhythms, and junctional tachycardia.
In this lesson we present the diagnostic criteria and patters associated with first degree AV block, 2nd degree type I or Wenckebach, 2nd degree type II or Mobitz II, and Complete AV block.
This lesson presents the diagnostic criteria and patters associated with hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, and hypocalcemia. We also present the best leads to identify each of the electrolyte disturbances as some require specific leads to identify.
This practice exam was developed to assist the participant in preparing for the Basic ECG Board Certification Exam.
This group of lessons were developed specifically for cardiac nurses who need a comprehensive review of various areas of practice in cardiology. These courses make great reviews for anyone planning to sit for a board certification examination in cardiovascular nursing practice.
