ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIC STUDY INTERPRETATION

Course overview

DURING THE LAST DECADES, ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY HAS EVOLVED INTO AN ESSENTIAL SUBSPECIALTY IN THE FIELD OF CARDIOLOGY. THROUGH METICULOUS ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIC STUDIES (EPS), RESEARCHERS HAVE GAINED INSIGHT INTO THE MECHANISMS OF CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS, DEVELOPING VERY EFFECTIVE ABLATIVE THERAPIES. THIS ACTIVITY REVIEWS THE FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF AN ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIC STUDY AND HIGHLIGHTS THE ROLE OF THE ARRHYTHMIA TEAM IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS.
