MAYO CLINIC ELECTORPHYSIOLOGY BOARD 2017-2018

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
•  Describe the molecular basis of the action potential of the human heart
•  Identify the EP characteristics of cardiac impulse propagation including anisotropy, cable theory, and spiral/scroll conduction
•  Distinguish the clinical principles and theory of defibrillation and cardiac resynchronization
•  Recognize the pharmacokinetic properties of antiarrhythmic drugs, including use dependence
•  Recognize and describe the basic mechanisms of common LQTS, Brugada, short-QT, and J-wave syndromes
•  Diagnose cardioinhibitory, vasodepressor, and vasovagal syncope syndromes and manage patients appropriately
•  Formulate management approaches to the arrhythmia syndromes in congenital heart disease, sarcoid, and ARVD
•  Apply 3-D mapping techniques to distinguish between reentrant versus. focal mechanisms of VT
•  Develop evidence-based approaches for atrial fibrillation ablation
•  Select and appropriately utilize maneuvers to differentiate AVNRT from JT and ORT in the EP lab
•  Select effective clinical management and ablation approaches to outflow tract ventricular tachycardias (VTs)
