Core Concepts in Electrophysiology (EP) and Board Prep is a comprehensive course designed to prepare medical professionals, particularly EP Fellows, for the CCEP (Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology) Exam. The course covers fundamental principles of cardiac electrophysiology, including diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiac rhythm disturbances. It offers didactic lectures and case-based workshops presented by expert faculty to provide an in-depth understanding of essential EP topics. The course also includes a self-assessment exam to help participants assess their knowledge.
Course Highlights:
Over 20 recorded didactic lectures with nine case-based workshops.
Coverage of basic cardiac electrophysiology principles, pharmacology of antiarrhythmic drugs, noninvasive testing for arrhythmias, and various cardiac conditions.
In-depth discussions on invasive diagnosis and treatment of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular tachycardia (VT), and other rhythm disorders.
Exploration of noninvasive diagnosis and treatment approaches, including antiarrhythmic drugs, mechanisms, and treatment of atrial fibrillation.
Special sessions on device evaluation, management, troubleshooting, and arrhythmia case studies.
Technology-focused sessions on topics such as transseptal catheterization and intracardiac ultrasound.
Learning Objectives:
Understand guidelines for evaluating and managing patients with cardiac rhythm disturbances.
Recognize the role of electrophysiologic testing in managing patients with arrhythmias.
Identify the advantages and limitations of diagnostic electrophysiologic methods.
Understand pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies for arrhythmia treatment.
Interpret complex electrophysiologic and electrocardiographic tracings.
Learn about imaging techniques in electrophysiology procedures.
Recognize potential complications of electrophysiologic procedures and their management.
Target Audience:
