Core Concepts in EP and Board Prep has evolved from the Society’s highly regarded Board Review Course and is designed to serve as an indispensable tool for preparing for the CCEP Exam. It also ensures a fundamentally sound EP knowledge base.
This course features didactic lectures and case-based workshops presented by expert faculty and course directors for in-depth coverage of the essential EP curriculum. It is bundled with a 100-question, multiple-choice Self-Assessment Exam available immediately upon purchase.
Course Highlights
Over 20 recorded didactic lectures with nine case-based workshops delivered by leading experts covering:
Basic cardiac and intracardiac electrophysiology
Pharmacology of antiarrhythmic drugs
Noninvasive testing for arrhythmias
Atrial and other supraventricular tachycardias
Catheter ablation
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators
Cardiac pacing
Intracardiac ultrasound in EP
Transseptal catheterization techniques
Pericardial access for epicardial mapping and ablation
Complications of EP procedures – avoidance and management
