Course Description
Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Online Board Review provides 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. This product is designed specifically to ensure that graduating electrophysiology fellows are apprised of the key practical elements for arrhythmia and device management. The program design is also aimed at providing thorough preparation for electrophysiology boards or recertification. In-depth updates on the latest knowledge and advances in electrophysiology are also integrated into the course for the practicing electrophysiologist wishing to review and update. The full spectrum of electrophysiology practice will be reviewed ranging from basic arrhythmia mechanisms and pharmacology to catheter diagnosis and therapy, and device-based intervention.
Course Learning Objectives
Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe basic physiology of myocardial excitability
- Differentiate electrophysiological mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis
- Describe the current guidelines related to management of heart rhythm disorders
- Synthesize the diagnostic and therapeutic approach for the channelopathy patient
- Formulate mapping and ablation approaches for standard and complex arrhythmias
- Interpret complex device and electrophysiological tracings
- Articulate management approaches for distinct clinical arrhythmia syndromes from congenital to myocarditis
- Describe non pharmacological testing and management of heart rhythm disorders.
Attendance at this Mayo Clinic course does not indicate nor guarantee competence or proficiency in the performance of any procedures which may be discussed or taught in this course.
Target Audience
This enduring program is designed for, but not limited to, cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiovascular fellows, electrophysiology fellows, and all practitioners involved in the care of complex arrhythmia patients in the outpatient and laboratory settings.
