Learning outcomes
Cardiac conduction system: anatomy, cell physiology, relations between action potential and cardiac cycle; relations between action potential and EKG.
Cardiac arrhythmology: sinus rhythm, basic mechanism of arrhythmogenesis, classification of arrhythmias.
Program
Membrane Potential; Action Potential of cardiac cells (working myocardium vs conductive cells).
Main cardiac ion-channels (sodium, calcium, potassium, "funny" channels).
The heart as a "functional syncytium".
Main connections among cardiac cells (gap junctions etc.).
Anatomy of cardiac conduction system (Sinus Node etc.).
Cardiac electric activation sequence.
Endo/epicardial differences between depolarization and repolarization.
Main mechanisms of arrhythmias (re-entry, automatism, triggered activity).
Details about re-entry (anatomic and functional).
Anatomy of Koch Triangle.
Accessory Pathways: anatomy, electrophysiology, ECG patterns ("delta wave").
Supraventricular Tachiarrhythmias (basic mechanisms and consequent EKG patterns):
• AV node tachycardia (slow-fast, fast-slow)
• Atrio-ventricular reentry (through accessory pathway, manifest or concealed); WPW sdr. and clinical risks.
• Typical Atrial Flutter ("sawtooth wave"), or Atypical Flutter
• Atrial Fibrillation (with clinical aspects: classification, symptoms, clinical risks...)
• "Wide QRS-complex tachycardias" (the main ones)
Brady-arrhythmias:
• seno-atrial blocks;
• AV-blocks;
