Advanced Cardiac Electrophysiology: with Clinical and Preclinical Experiences
Learning Objectives:
The objective to this course is to give critical insights into cardiac pacing and ablation with didactic presentations, clinical case presentations, and hands-on preclinical research.
Note: Credentialing will be required for the clinical immersion portion of the program
Day 1: Lectures on cardiac anatomy, conduction system, alternate site pacing, cardiac pacing timing and physiology. Lab tour and study cardiac specimens in the human heart library.
Day 2:
(Group 1) Clinical Immersion in an EP lab with a clinical electrophysiologist.
(Group 2) Cardiac Pacing, defibrillation in a preclinical model.
Day 3:
(Group 2) Clinical Immersion in an EP lab with a clinical electrophysiologist.
(Group 1) Cardiac Pacing, defibrillation in a preclinical model.
Course Directors:
Dr. Paul Iaizzo, Professor, Department of Surgery
Dr. Michael Eggen, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Surgery
Dr. Henri Roukoz, Associate Professor of Medicine and the Section Head for Electrophysiology, University of Minnesota
