Prerequisites: CVTT 2470, CVTT 2471, CVTT 2460 Corequisites: CVTT 2473, CVTT 2462
Integrated Reading & Writing Basic Skills Prerequisite: INRW 0420
Math Basic Skills Prerequisite: MATH 0320
This course introduces students to the core diagnostic principles and techniques in cardiac electrophysiology. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of various cardiac rhythms, including sinus, atrial, junctional, heart block, ventricular, and paced rhythms. Students will learn to synthesize diagnostic measures for identifying specific arrhythmias, critically evaluating the data to guide clinical decision-making.
The curriculum covers the indications, risks, and complications associated with electrophysiology (EP) procedures, preparing students to choose the most appropriate cardiac devices for specific clinical scenarios. In addition, the course provides practical training in obtaining and analyzing data from 12-lead ECGs and measuring basic intervals on intracardiac electrograms (EGMs), ensuring that students gain hands-on experience in these essential diagnostic techniques.
Upon completion, students will be proficient in the fundamental diagnostic methods of electrophysiology, laying the groundwork for more advanced studies and clinical practice in the field.
