Target Audience
This program is designed for physicians.
Cardiac electrophysiology has grown exponentially; we have moved from the implantation of very large and poorly powered pacemakers to the deployment of transvenous MRI-compatible miniaturized leadless capsules capable of pacing for decades, from the implantation of large epicardial defibrillating paddles around the heart to the implantation of totally subcutaneous systems, from performing electrophysiologic studies with primitive bipolar catheters to having almost automated three-dimensional mapping systems capable of obtaining over 2000 arrhythmia points in just over 5 minutes.
Despite these advances, many patients live with cardiac arrhythmias and present to emergency rooms, internists, general cardiology, and electrophysiology offices with complex situations requiring rapid recognition and treatment. This year’s summit’s objective is to inform all of us about the diagnosis and up-to-date management of conditions like supraventricular arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and cardiac device management. As usual, we will review all recently updated guidelines on these topics and have sessions on the basic knowledge for the electrocardiographic diagnosis of arrhythmias.
OBJECTIVES
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity has been designed for internists, cardiology fellows, cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiovascular surgeons involved in managing cardiovascular diseases, and other physicians interested in the cardiology field.
