Training in electrophysiology is a step by step process in which the obvious need to know the language may be initially neglected, however it may be easier to first understand the terms.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the terms used in EP and follow the links to the sites of authority from which we have gathered this information. We will cite the Heart Rhythm Society as much as possible as they are the international resource for this field.
The Heart Rhythm Society is the international leader in science, education and advocacy for cardiac arrhythmia professionals and patients, and the primary information resource on heart rhythm disorders. Its mission is to improve the care of patients by promoting research, education and optimal health care policies and standards.
The area of cardiac electrophysiology (EP) is experiencing constant growth in hospital labs while the numbers of trained health care professionals in any realm are on the decline.
Electrophysiology is an area that requires a tremendous amount of training and education to not only create staff able to assist the physician, but also foster an interest and understanding in the long, complex cases. EP staff members must understand and be engaged in procedures in order to maintain their interest and committment.
Continuing education is of paramount importance to the success of any EP Lab and yet staff are presented with several hurdles in order to make it available.
Here we will have a consistent source of articles, links to education.
