PROGR AM INFORMATION

LEARNING OBJECTIVES After this activity, participants will be able to:

1. Discuss the electrophysiology of atrial fibrillation.

2. Cite the newest concepts of atrial electrophysiology, including differences in endocardial and epicardial conduction patterns and how they can impact the interpretation of electrophysiologic mapping.

3. Identify the advantages and limitations of activation-time mapping, voltage mapping, and phase mapping for the analysis of the electrophysiology of atrial fibrillation.

4. Demonstrate improved outcomes for the catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation using the most advanced techniques.

5. Demonstrate improved outcomes for the surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation using the most advanced techinques.

6. Discuss the electrophysiological basis of catheter ablation for paroxysmal and nonparoxysmal atrial fibrillation.

7. Cite the current indications for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

8. Explain the current results of catheter and surgical ablation for paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

9. Implement a safe and effective left atrial appendage closure program using current percutaneous and surgical techniques to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.

10. Determine the limitations of the HRS definitions of success and failure for the interventional (catheter and surgical) treatment of atrial fibrillation.

11. Examine the differences in the electrophysiology of primary (“stand-alone”) and secondary (“concomitant”) atrial fibrillation.

12. Discuss the electrophysiological basis of concomitant surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing valve surgery with or without coronary artery disease.

13. Review the surgical options for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing mitral valve, aortic valve, and/or coronary artery bypass surgery.

14. Restate the currently recommended surgical lesion patterns for the concomitant surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing mitral valve, aortic valve, and/or coronary artery bypass surgery based on recent clinical trial results.

15. Improve the outcomes of patients undergoing catheter and surgical therapies for atrial fibrillation using lifestyle modifications targeting obesity and other risk factors.
