Abbott's online training introduces two different EP course offerings. Healthcare Professionals can begin learning the fundamentals of electrophysiology on the self-paced website below or move into advanced electrophysiology mapping and arrhythmia recognition concepts in a self-paced learning environment offered on our EP Institue application.
To access Abbott's online EP training offerings please review the two options below and register for the training offering that meets your educational needs.
Abbott Education Network (AEN) provides a web based foundational Apprentice curriculum that reviews basic EP science, general arrhythmia recognition, and the foundations of an EP procedure. The fundamentals courses are numbered below to provide a content preview and a suggested order for self-study.
If you are already registered, log-in to see available courses or click the course title in the description below to be directed to the course.
This course will explore, the techniques and equipment used during an EP study through an interactive module, self-guided learning assessment, and knowledge check.
At the end of this module, attendees will better understand:
These interactive reading chapters cover basic cardiac function, including anatomy, hemodynamics, and cardiac physiology. The readings are accompanied by a porcine cardiac dissection guide to better understand cardiac anatomy. In the course, the learner will explore the epicardium of the heart as well as the endocardium of each chamber. This will review major cardiac arteries and veins, structures significant to EP procedures, how different cardiac structures affect the electrical activation of the heart, and more.
This interactive module covers basic cardiac imaging as seen in the EP lab through modalities such as x-ray, ultrasound, and mapping. Throughout the course, you will be prompted with knowledge checks. The learner will also be able to download an assessment for direct application in the lab setting. In addition, there will be a quiz to test overall knowledge.
At the end of this module, attendees will better understand:
This interactive course covers the basic concepts needed to understand an EP procedure. Areas of focus include cardiac action potentials, EKG basics and troubleshooting, arrhythmia mechanisms, EGM basics, workflow for EP studies, basic pharmacology, and cardiac imaging.
Throughout the course, you will be prompted with knowledge checks. The learner will also be able to download an assessment for direct application in the lab setting. In addition, there will be a quiz to test overall knowledge.
The pacing techniques and workflows during an EP study vary widely across procedure types, so this course focuses on the understanding of basic pacing protocols.
Throughout the course, you will be prompted with knowledge checks. The learner will also be able to download an assessment for direct application in the lab setting. In addition, there will be a quiz to test overall knowledge.
At the end of this module, attendees will better understand:
The connections made in each EP Lab vary based on the equipment available. This interactive course includes setup guides which will focus on basic connections needed to begin a case. The course also includes downloadable setup guides to help direct various system connection. At the end of this module, attendees will better understand:
The ablation techniques and workflows during an EP procedure vary based on procedure type. This interactive course and reading chapter will focus on the biophysics of ablation and ablation strategies.
Throughout the course, you will be prompted with knowledge checks. The learner will also be able to download an assessment for direct application in the lab setting. In addition, there will be a quiz to test overall knowledge.
At the end of this module, attendees will better understand:
This course focuses on the underlying mechanisms of Atrial Flutter and Atrial Fibrillation to better understand the pacing maneuvers and ablation approaches for each rhythm.
Throughout the course, you will be prompted with knowledge checks. The learner will also be able to download an assessment for direct application in each arrhythmia setting. In addition, there will be a quiz to test overall knowledge.
At the end of this module, attendees will better understand:
This course focuses on the underlying mechanisms of Atrioventricular Nodal Re-entrant Tachycardia, Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia, and Atrial Tachycardia to better understand the pacing maneuvers and ablation approaches for each rhythm.
Throughout the course, you will be prompted with knowledge checks. The learner will also be able to download an assessment for direct application in each arrhythmia setting. In addition, there will be a quiz to test overall knowledge.
At the end of this module, attendees will better understand:
This course focuses on the underlying mechanisms of Ventricular Tachycardia and Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) to better understand the pacing maneuvers for each rhythm.
Throughout the course, you will be prompted with knowledge checks. The learner will also be able to download an assessment for direct application in each arrhythmia setting. In addition, there will be a quiz to test overall knowledge.
At the end of this module, attendees will better understand:
The pacing techniques and workflows during an EP study vary widely across procedure types, so this course explains advanced pacing maneuvers utilized in the differentiation of supraventricular arrhythmias.
Throughout the course, you will be prompted with knowledge checks. The learner will also be able to download an assessment for direct application in the lab setting. In addition, there will be a quiz to test overall knowledge.
At the end of this module, attendees will better understand:
