  • Relate electrical signaling and neurohormonal regulation to cardiac function.

  • Interpret and integrate ECG manifestations of basic mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias.

  • Interpret and integrate ECG manifestations of inherited arrhythmia syndromes.

  • Compare and contrast basic mechanisms and ECG manifestations of inherited arrhythmia syndromes.

  • Correlate the mechanisms of antiarrhythmic drugs with their effect on cardiac action potential.

  • Interpret and integrate ECG manifestations of antiarrhythmic toxicity.

  • Articulate the basic underpinnings and indications for catheter ablation.

  • Articulate the basic underpinnings, indications for, and ECG manifestations of cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.

  • Evaluate arrhythmias and therapeutic modalities of patients in the presenting to electrophysiology clinic.

  • Research how arrhythmias are studied in the basic science setting.

  • Categorize antiarrhythmic medications according to their appropriate use.
