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)
