Core Concepts in EP 2021
Webcast
35 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ ...
OVERVIEW
Core Concepts in EP 2021 is organized by Heart Rhythm Society (HRS).
Expires on: Aug 01, 2024
Description:
Core Concepts in EP is designed to serve as a wide audience within the EP community, not only U.S. physicians preparing to certify or recertify. It is intended to be an indispensable tool for providing a fundamentally sound EP knowledge base.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe the current guidelines related to evaluation and management of patients with cardiac rhythm disturbances
• Describe the role of electrophysiologic testing in managing patients with brady arrhythmias and tachyarrhythmia
• Identify the advantages and limitations of diagnostic electrophysiologic methods
• Identify the role of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies for the treatment of arrhythmias
• Recognize the basic electrophysiology and genetics of inherited conditions associated with cardiac arrhythmias
• Recognize clinical, electrocardiographic, and electrophysiologic characteristics of specific cardiac arrhythmia syndromes
• Interpret complex electrophysiologic and electrocardiographic tracings
• Interpret stored electrograms from pacemakers and ICDs
• Understand the role, utility and limitations of imaging (fluoroscopy, intracardiac echocardiography, electroanatomic mapping) in electrophysiologic procedures
• Understand different methods of safely accessing left atrium with transseptal techniques, and pericardial space for electrophysiologic procedures
• Describe potential complications of electrophysiologic procedures, how to avoid them when possible and remedy them when they occur
Course Highlights:
Over 20 recorded didactic lectures with nine case-based workshops delivered by leading experts covering:
• Basic cardiac and intracardiac electrophysiology
• Pharmacology of antiarrhythmic drugs
• Noninvasive testing for arrhythmias
• Atrial and other supraventricular tachycardias
• Catheter ablation
• Implantable cardioverter defibrillators
• Cardiac pacing
• Intracardiac ultrasound in EP
• Transseptal catheterization techniques
• Pericardial access for epicardial mapping and ablation
• Complications of EP procedures - avoidance and management
ACCREDITATION & CREDITS
CME Statements
Accreditation Statement
The Heart Rhythm Society is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Designation Statement
The Heart Rhythm Society designates this Other (blended internet live and enduring material) activity for a maximum of 35 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
ABIM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Statement
ABIM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) StatementSuccessful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 35 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.
