CVT 214 Electrophysiology and Device Management
Introduction to electrophysiology concepts, focusing on the diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias and implantable devices like pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Also introduces advanced cardiovascular support techniques such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Students will study the role of technology in monitoring and treating complex cardiac conditions. Additional topics will include emerging technologies in electrophysiology for monitoring and diagnosis.
