What You Will Learn!
- A simplified yet complete course of cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis
- This course is primarily designed for the general cardiologist, but still represents a good revision for the electrophysiologist
- The course introduces a detailed description of electrocardiographic features
- It also offers a simplified description of electrophysiological features
Description
Arrhythmia is one of the most complicated, and most difficult to study fields of Cardiology.
This course tries to simplify matters yet keeping every necessary details. It is primarily directed to the general cardiologist, but still represents a good revision for the electrophysiologist.
The course focuses on the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cardiac rhythm disturbances, utilizing clinical, electrocardiographic, and electrophysiological information.
Discussion of the management of arrhythmia was largely avoided, but sometimes only touched. Management clinical practice guidelines are ever-changing, and require patient follow-up, to keep in pace with the most recent trends in management.
Please note that most, if not all, figures in this course are just hand-made sketches, designed to clarify the concerned phenomena, including the electrocardiographic and electrophysiological traces.
The course is presented as a large number of videos, and is divided into the following sections:
1. Pathology and pathophysiology of Arrhythmia.
2. Cardiac electrophysiology and electrophysiological studies.
3. Individual rhythms: Sino atrial node normal and abnormal rhythms, supraventricular arrhythmia (premature atrial contractions, atrio ventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), atrio ventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT), focal atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter), ventricular arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, differentiation of wide QRS complex tachycardia, and sudden cardiac death), heart blocks (sinoatrial block, atrioventricular block, bundle branch block, fascicular blocks, ventricular conduction aberration, and other types intra ventricular conduction delay), other arrhythmia (escape rhythms and para systole).
4. Cardiac pacing techniques: atrial pacing atrial sensing inhibited mode, ventricular pacing ventricular sensing inhibited mode, dual pacing dual sensing dual mode, dual pacing dual sensing inhibited mode, dual pacing ventricular sensing inhibited mode, asynchronous atrial pacing mode, asynchronous ventricular pacing mode, and asynchronous dual chamber pacing mode, with detailed description of the paced electrocardiogram, pacemaker malfunction, pacing in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, pacing in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillators, as well as external cardio version and defibrillation.
I hope you find this course helpful.
Regards and best wishes.
