Overview
This course aims to provide the foundation for understanding the anatomy of the heart and spatial relationships of cardiac structures as viewed by cardiac electrophysiologists. It also discusses recent developments in cardiac imaging for electrophysiologists.
This course is suitable for doctors training to specialise in cardiac electrophysiology, for technicians and support professionals working in electrophysiology laboratories, for personnel working in industry, and is a refresher/update course for the experienced practitioner.
See this year's course programme below.
Anatomy for Electrophysiologists has been approved by the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom for 10 category one (external) CPD credit(s).
