Series Overview

This didactic activity covers an extensive range of topic areas within the practice of clinical cardiac electrophysiology. The evolving curriculum is designed with input from learners, particularly CCEP fellows. Recurrent topics include but are not limited to pacing, antiarrhythmic drugs, entrainment, SVT, pacemaker and ICD troubleshooting, localization of VT, inherited arrhythmias, device extractions, basic arrhythmia mechanisms, accessory pathway ablation, arrhythmias in special populations, CRT troubleshooting, sudden cardiac death in athletes, electroanatomic mapping systems, syncope, wide complex tachycardia, WPW management, atrial fibrillation ablation, intracardiac echocardiography, anticoagulation therapy, atrial tachyarrhythmias, PVC/VT, ICDs, pacemakers and end-of-life care.

Global Objectives

As a result of participation in this educational series, members of the healthcare team will be able to:

• Provide state-of-the-art, interprofessional, patient-centered CCEP care to patients in the clinic, on the inpatient services and in the procedural laboratory.
• Apply  knowledge to clinical practice in the areas of diagnostic testing for clinical EP, use of newly released medications, and implementation of guideline recommended treatment for cardiovascular disease.
• Effectively communicate with the members of interprofessional, multidisciplinary healthcare team to optimize management of the multitude of diseases involving clincial cardiac EP.
• Thoughtfully assess strategies to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts to better serve patients and address health disparities.
