Electrophysiology 2012: - Washington Hospital Center

Course Description
Guidelines and manuscripts are widely available but decisionmaking
in individual patients involves clinical judgment. Through
this highly practical and interactive 3 day course, attendees will have
an opportunity to interact with experts in a smaller congenial group
and to exchange approaches to patients with PSVT, atrial fibrillation,
and ventricular tachycardia, indications for defibrillator and cardiac
resynchronization therapy. A special feature will be an in-depth and
critical overview of risk stratification in the patient with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy.
Learning Objectives
• Assess the patient selection criteria for ablation therapy of AF and
evaluate and implement the most recent technical approaches
• Define the advantages of genetic testing in patients with idiopathic
cardiac arrest and their families on an individualized basis and
utilize it when appropriate
• Discuss the approach to ablation of hemodynamically stable VT
and implement this procedure in practice
• Update on latest guidelines for risk stratification in hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy
Target Audience
This educational program is designed for clinical electrophysiologists.
