Purpose and target audience: The course will focus on cardiac anatomy relevant for electrophysiologists. After attending this course, participants will have a greater understanding of the key cardiac anatomical structures involved necessary for device implantation, endo/epicardial mapping and catheter ablation.
Course Description: Success or failure for the contemporary interventional electrophysiologist depends on the twin pillars of cardiac electroanatomy and electrophysiology. In this unique course, participants will receive hands on and didactic instruction and discussion on the following: key anatomic factors relevant to arrhythmogenesis; catheter manipulation; ablation avoiding collateral injury; manipulation of catheters and inter and intra cardiac chamber leads, and the pericardial space and cardiac venous anatomy. The course will include didactic presentations and anatomy Wet Lab.
