Electrophysiology Review for Boards and Recertification

Mayo School of Continuous Professional Development

August 23-25, 2013Rochester, MN

Course Description

Electrophysiology Review for Boards and Recertification will provide the cardiologist and electrophysiologist with an overview of all aspects of cardiovascular electrophysiology. Experts in each field will give in-depth didactics on state-of-the-art subjects in electrophysiology and device therapy. Each lecture will include questions and answers with an electronic response system.

Although this course is designed specifically to prepare the electrophysiologist specialist for the electrophysiology boards or recertification, it will also provide the cardiologist or practicing electrophysiologist with an update on the latest knowledge and advances in electrophysiology. The full spectrum of electrophysiology practice will be reviewed, ranging from basic arrhythmia mechanisms and pharmacology, to catheter diagnosis and therapy, and device-based treatments. Special sessions reviewing maneuvers for arrhythmia diagnosis in the electrophysiology laboratory and ablation of atrial fibrillation are included. The schedule includes numerous case-based sessions, useful for board examinations and practice.

This course will also include a practice exam using an ABIM Electrophysiology Module. Special session topics will include: anatomy for the electrophysiologist, avoiding ablation complications, and advanced mapping system review.

Course Learning Objectives

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

• Interpretintracardiacandelectrocardiographic presentations of common arrhythmias, including: AVNRT, WPW dependent tachycardias, atrial and ventricular tachycardias, and atrial fibrillation

• Interpretintracardiacelectrogramstoplanablative and device therapy strategies for patients

• Analyzemulticentertrialsaddressingoptimalmanagement of patients with cardiac arrest, those at risk for ventricular arrhythmias, WPW, and atrial fibrillation

• Explainthecommonarrhythmiasyndromesassociated with channelopathies and the ECG/phenotypic aspects of these familial syndromes

• Identifythemuscularanatomyoftheheartand how it facilitates arrhythmogenesis

• IdentifyECG/EGMfeaturesofvarioustypesof atrial flutters, VT in the normal heart, and atypical accessory tracts like Mahaim and fasciculoventricular fibers

• Reviewthebasicelectrophysiologyofionchannels, gap junctions, and anisotropic conduction and how these can affect clinical arrhythmogenesis
