BME 52600 - Cardiac Electrophysiology


Credit Hours: 3.00.  This course will introduce the basic principles of cardiac-generated bioelectricity as measured at cellular, extracellular and body surfaces. The generation, detection and classification of abnormal cardiac rhythms will be emphasized. Clinical and engineering principles of relevant electro-therapies will also be studied including cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators and ablation therapies involving cardiac mapping and a variety of ablative energy sources. Modern signal processing methods as applied to electrocardiography will also be presented. Permission of department required.Credits: 3.00
