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
• Mechanisms of Arrhythmias
• 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
• Atrial Fibrillation Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI)
• 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 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
