Karla Rusk Electrophysiology Review and What's New

This conference has already taken place.

The field of Electrophysiology is rapidly changing with new medication, technology and interventions being developed at a fast pace. The medication, technology and interventions utilized in cardiac electrophysiology impact a broad community of patients managed by a diverse group of healthcare providers from both the inpatient and out-patient settings.  Discussions will address a number of concerns for cardiac patients including the structure of the cardiac conduction system, sudden cardiac death, cardiac syncope, permanent pacing, inherited arrhythmia syndrome, indications for anticoagulation, etc.  The educational content will provide knowledge on history of the development of diagnostic and treatment options for electrophysiology ranging from pharmaceuticals, devices and other innovations.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
1.   Discuss the structure of the cardiac conduction system and mechanisms of arrhythmias.
2.   Review causes of sudden cardiac arrest in the athlete.
3.   Identify clinical history and findings indicative of cardiac syncope.
4.   Compare and contrast different types of permanent pacing.
5.   Recognize the diagnostic criteria of inherited arrythmia syndromes.
6.   Recognize and apply appropriate interventions for common problems with CIEDs.
7.   Understand antiarrhythmic drugs selection in the management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
8.   Identify indications for catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and how to evaluate a successful result.
9.   Understand indications for anticoagulation and available options.
10. Discuss indications for left atrial appendage closure and post procedural management.
11. Discuss treatment options for ventricular tachycardia when traditional ablation fails.
