Introduction to electrophysiology concepts, focusing on the diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias and implantable devices like pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Also introduces advanced cardiovascular support techniques such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Students will study the role of technology in monitoring and treating complex cardiac conditions. Additional topics will include emerging technologies in electrophysiology for monitoring and diagnosis.
Outcomes
- Explain the indications and procedures for pacemaker and ICD implantation.
- Troubleshoot and optimize settings for electrophysiology devices.
- Analyze electrophysiological data to assist in diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Explain the role and operation of advanced cardiovascular support systems like LVADs.
- Evaluate emerging electrophysiology technologies and their clinical applications.
