October 2-5, 2015 - Fairmont, Washington, D.C., Georgetown
Mayo Course Directors: Douglas L. Packer, M.D.
Guest Course Directors: David J. Wilber, M.D., F.H.R.S., C.C.D.S, William G. Stevenson, M.D., F.H.R.S.

This course will provide comprehensive instruction for diagnosing common and complex cardiac arrhythmias in the electrophysiology laboratory and achieving effective and safe ablation.  Case-based illustrative presentations will highlight diagnostic dilemmas and key management strategies.  Experts discussing detailed patient cases provide a step-by-step analysis and in-depth review of approaches to catheter ablation for the spectrum of cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, complex atrial arrhythmias after AF ablation or in congenital heart disease, atrial tachycardias and atypical flutters, and ventricular arrhythmias with and without associated heart disease.  Detailed discussions of relevant cardiac anatomy integrated with intracardiac ultrasound and other imaging modalities are highlighted.

Registration
MD, PhD, DO, PharmD            $995
Fellow, Resident, NP, PA, RN  $875

The registration fee includes tuition, electronic syllabus, continental breakfasts, and break refreshments.  Although it is not Mayo School of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) policy to limit the number of registrants for a course, conference room facilities may necessitate closing of enrollment; therefore, early registration is advised.  

Credit Information
Mayo Clinic College of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Mayo Clinic College of Medicine designates this live activity, for a maximum of 27.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Other Health Care Professionals: A record of attendance will be provided to other healthcare professionals for requesting credits in accordance with state nursing boards, specialty societies, or other professional associations. 

Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Recognize the mechanisms underlying cardiac  arrhythmias amenable to ablation
• Distinguish both normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy and its role in the genesis of arrhythmias and ablations strategy
• Describe optimal mapping and ablation techniques for specific arrhythmias and clinical circumstances
• Discuss major risks associated with ablation
• Assess the value and limitations of high-end technology in the ablation process
• Identify the role for pre and intra procedural imaging techniques to optimize outcomes and increase safety of ablation procedures

Attendance at this Mayo course does not indicate nor guarantee competence or proficiency in the performance of any procedures which may be discussed or taught in this course.
