Core Concepts in EP 2021

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.

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
