THE BODY ELECTRIC: INTERSECTION OF CELLULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY WITH CLINICAL ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY

MEDICINE 880
Course Description

Mapping of cellular and conduction perturbations to observed changes on the surface ECG recording for inherited arrhythmia syndromes (e.g., long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome), drug toxicities (Class IC and III antiarrhythmics, digoxin excess), cardiac arrest, electrolyte disturbances, and metabolic disturbances; Selection of appropriate therapies, including antiarrhythmics and device therapies, and how they affect cardiac electrophysiology and the clinical ECG.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY ESSENTIALS FOR NURSING PRACTICE

NURSING 318

Promotes the understanding of altered physiological processes underlying illness and disease. General concepts including etiology, pathogenesis, morphologic changes, and clinical significance are explored from the genetic, molecular, cellular, organ, and systems-levels. Connections between patient symptoms, clinical signs, diagnostics, prognosis, and therapeutic considerations will form the basis for early exposure to clinical reasoning for common acute and chronic diseases across the lifespan.

CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY ELECTIVE

MEDICINE 942

Develop skills in basic electrocardiogram (EKG) and arrhythmia interpretation, pharmacologic management of arrhythmia, cardiac anatomy and use of electrophysiologic testing. Participate in the evaluation of patients referred for electrophysiology studies, focusing on the diagnosis and management of cardiac rhythm disturbances.

DIAGNOSTIC METHODS I

PHYASST 650

Primary focus is laboratory medicine assessments and ECG interpretation with additional content in imaging modalities, utilization of survey tools, screening assessments, as well as selected specialized examination techniques.

MEDICAL INSTRUMENTATION

BME/ECE 462

Design and application of electrodes, biopotential amplifiers, biosensors, therapeutic devices. Medical imaging. Electrical safety. Measurement of ventilation, blood pressure and flow.

CARDIOLOGY CONSULTATION SERVICE ELECTIVE

MEDICINE 943

Opportunities to learn the process involving the evaluation and management of a full spectrum of acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases, as well as preoperative consultation for hospitalized adult patients. Become familiar with the principles of effective consultation and how to operationalize this role, through evaluating patients, presenting relevant data, providing effective cardiac consultation as an integral member of a fast-paced inpatient team. Essential skills are taught, including: interpreting 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) and cardiac rhythm data from telemetry with assistance, observing select cardiac diagnostic tests and reading studies with faculty or fellows. Attendance at weekly Cardiovascular Medicine Grand Rounds is required.
