Created by experts from the Mayo Clinic, "Interpretation of Intracardiac Electrograms: The Fundamentals" is a unique, interactive online tool to help trainees, technicians, and clinicians gain a working understanding of basic intracardiac electrophysiologic concepts and tracings. Online examples of tracings combined with dynamic animations illustrate concepts in sinus rhythm, third-degree atrioventricular block, atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia, ablation procedures, AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia. A self-assessment examination is included so that you may test yourself on the rhythms you have learned, and review those that pose extra difficulty. This unique online teaching tool provides examples of intracardiac electrophysiologic tracings and animation of the electrical wavefronts on a heart diagram. It offers a brief description of each arrhythmia, followed by an interactive version of an intracardiac electrophysiologic tracing. It shows the wavefront as it moves through the heart diagram. It uses color-coded catheters to match the electrophysiologic tracings to which they correspond. It tests your knowledge before and then after using the module with a brief self-assessment exam.
