Core Concepts in EP 2021 w/ Board Prep and Self Assessment

Core Concepts in EP 2021 w/ Board Prep and Self Assessment is organized by Heart Rhythm Society (HRS).

Expires on: Aug 01, 2024

Description:
Core Concepts in EP and Board Prep has evolved from the Society's highly regarded Board Review Course and is designed to serve as an indispensible tool for preparing for the CCEP Exam. It also ensures a fundamentally sound EP knowledge base.

This course features didactic lectures and case-based workshops presented by expert faculty and course directors for in-depth coverage of the essential EP curriculum. It is bundled with a 100-question, multiple choice Self-Assessment Exam available immediately upon purchase.

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 tachyarrhythmias
• 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
