Course Description

Course Learning Objectives

Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Describe basic physiology of myocardial excitability

Differentiate electrophysiological mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis

Describe the current guidelines related to management of heart rhythm disorders

Synthesize the diagnostic and therapeutic approach for the channelopathy patient

Formulate mapping and ablation approaches for standard and complex arrhythmias

Interpret complex device and electrophysiological tracings

Articulate management approaches for distinct clinical arrhythmia syndromes from congenital to myocarditis

Describe non pharmacological testing and management of heart rhythm disorders.

Compare the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of antiarrhythmic drugs

Target Audience

This enduring program is designed for, but not limited to, cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiovascular fellows, electrophysiology fellows, and all practitioners involved in the care of complex arrhythmia patients in the outpatient and laboratory settings.
