Course Description
Catheter ablation is an important therapy for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disorder observed in clinical practice, affecting an estimated 2.66 million Americans, and anticipated to increase to a staggering 12 million cases by 2050. Atrial fibrillation is an important cause of stroke and diminished quality of life. Catheter ablation is a major therapy for atrial fibrillation that is evolving rapidly with rapid evolution of methods for improving efficacy and safety. With the routine availability of implantable defibrillators, an increasing number of patients are surviving ventricular arrhythmias, but these are associated with decreased survival, increased heart failure, and diminished quality of life. Catheter ablation is increasingly needed to control episodes of ventricular tachycardia. In addition catheter ablation is now a well-established first line therapy for many supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structurally normal hearts. Although the approach to many of these arrhythmias is straight forward, all practitioners encounter challenging cases due to anatomic and pathophysiologic variations.
This course will provide comprehensive instruction for diagnosing common and complex cardiac arrhythmias in the electrophysiology laboratory and achieving effective and safe ablation. Case-based illustrative presentations will highlight diagnostic dilemmas and key management strategies. Experts discussing detailed patient cases provide a step-by-step analysis and an in-depth review of approaches to catheter ablation for the spectrum of cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, complex atrial arrhythmias after AF ablation or in congenital heart disease, atrial tachycardias and atypical flutters, and ventricular arrhythmias with and without associated heart disease. Detailed discussions of relevant cardiac anatomy integrated with intracardiac ultrasound and other imaging modalities are highlighted.
The program format provides opportunities for one-on-one discussions with experts in the field as well as fellow colleagues. Individuals in the early stages of their career or who desire an update in fundamentals are encouraged to attend. Participants are encouraged to bring case presentations of their own for discussion and review.
Course Highlights• Live and taped video procedure discussion• Expert techniques to assist in accurate diagnosis and ablation of common and complex
arrhythmias• State-of-the Art techniques for evaluating, mapping and ablating complicated
arrhythmias• Imaging integrated with anatomy and electroanatomic mapping techniques• Illustrative case presentation of AT and VT Ablation procedure that highlight
techniques and application of new technology and solutions for real life scenarios
Course Learning Objectives
Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
• Recognize the mechanisms underlying cardiac arrhythmias amenable to ablation• Describe diagnostic maneuvers for accurate diagnosis of different supraventricular and
ventricular arrhythmias• Distinguish both normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy and its role in the genesis of
arrhythmias and ablations strategy• Describe optimal mapping and ablation techniques for specific arrhythmias and clinical
circumstances• Discuss major risks associated with ablation• Assess the value and limitations of high-end technology in the ablation process• Identify the role for pre and intraprocedural imaging techniques to optimize outcomes
and increase safety of ablation procedures• Summarize optimal energy sources for ablation of specific cardiac arrhythmias and
understand the underlying mechanisms of action
