Mayo Clinic Electrophysiology Online Board Review 2025

Date of Original Release: November 19, 2025
Course Description
This course 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 interventionThe Electrophysiology Online Board Review course is delivered through an online personalized learning gateway enabling learners to take a pre-assessment to identify areas of strength and weakness and then directing their learning with a personalized study guide that concentrates solely on areas where they need reinforcement. Learners can view videos, listen to streaming audio, review learning objectives, journal citations, articles and guidelines and board pearls, take notes on PowerPoint presentations, take pre- and post-assessments, practice coding exams, and more.
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.
Compare the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of antiarrhythmic drugs

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.
