Virtual programme format
The course is a blend of on-demand content with scheduled live-streamed workshops delivered 100% online. This means you’ll be able to view the lectures, case studies and hands-on demonstrations as many times as you like, whenever you like to reinforce your learnings.
The course is made up of a variety of content delivery styles – lectures, case studies, hands-on demonstrations and live-streamed workshops – to give you the depth and breadth of knowledge and skills to set you up for success. This content includes:
Lectures:
- Cardiac anatomy and physiology
- Principles of EP
- Pacing protocols
- Evaluation and treatment AV Node Reentry Tachycardia (AVNRT)
- Evaluation and treatment of AV Reentry Tachycardia (AVRT)
- Evaluation and treatment of Atrial Tachycardia (AT)
- Evaluation and treatment of Atrial Flutter (AFL)
- Evaluation and treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
- Evaluation and treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)
Case studies & tutorials:
- Atrial Flutter (AFL)
- Concealed bypass tract (AVRT)
- Pre-excitation syndrome (WPW)
- AV Node Reentry Tachycardia (AVNRT)
- RV Outflow Tract VT (RVOT VT)
- Brugada Syndrome
- Ventricular Tachycardia
- Syncope
- X-ray orientation and catheter identification
Hands-on demonstrations:
- Cardiac anatomical dissection
- How to load and prime an EP catheter irrigation pump
- EP catheter connector cables
- EP catheters
- EP catheter short sheaths
- EP catheter long sheaths
Live-streamed workshops:
- Participants will also have full access to monthly 60-90 minute scheduled live-streamed workshop sessions
- The sessions will deliver case studies, tutorials or general Q & A
- Participants will have the ability for live interaction and discussions
- The sessions will be scheduled at various days and times to allow participants many options to attend
- The sessions are invaluable in allowing interaction with peers and to clarify unfamiliar or complex concepts
Participants receive:
- Upon enrolment participants will have uninterrupted 12 month access to all online education tools at www.cepia.com.au including all lectures in full colour with audio, case studies, tutorials and live-streamed workshops
Objectives
Participants will be able to demonstrate:
- Improved knowledge of cardiac anatomy and physiology
- Solid understanding of the role of EPS in managing patients with bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias
- Enhanced knowledge of patient and lab set up and equipment used
- Familiarity of catheter access and approaches, basic catheter locations and electrogram interpretation
- Understanding of pacing protocols used during EPS
- Appreciation of common arrhythmia aetiology, mechanisms and diagnostic features
- Comprehension of arrhythmia mapping and ablation techniques and endpoints
