Our Faculty 

The following are potential topics to be covered during the course:

​

Clinical Challenges:

• Risk stratification of incidental findings on 12 lead EKGs (ARVC, Brugada syndrome, WPW, Long QT)

• Challenging cases about when to implant devices:

  • ICD secondary prevention ICD in ischemic heart disease 

  • ICD in channelopathies such as CPVT, Long QT and vasovagal syncope

  • Pacemaker implant post-cardiac surgery

• Device programming and electrograms (EMI vs. lead fracture, pacemaker mediated tachycardia)

• Tilt table testing 

• Difficult event monitors

​

Procedural Challenges:

• Supraventricular tachycardia studies 

• Ventricular tachycardia cases and approaches

• Difficult appendage closures (Amulet vs. Watchman)

• Strategies for success in ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation

• Novel ablation tools including current (QDOT) and future tools (pulsed field ablation)

• Conduction system pacing (how to and when to) including deep septal (Left bundle pacing) and Bachmann's pacing

• Cardioneural ablation

• Complication mitigation: Devices (ultrasound access, infection preventions)

• Complication mitigation: Ablation (Esophageal protection, when to do coronary angiograms) 

​

Business Challenges:

• Billing for an AF ablation 

• Developing a referral network 

• Remote monitoring, making it safe and profitable 

• Fundamentals of Medical Employment and Consulting Contracts

• Hospital-employed vs. Private model
