  • Introduction

    Micropace Pacing Course Demo

    This demo is a little taste of what you will find in the Micropace Pacing Course.  At the end of the course you will have a better understanding of cardiac pacing, its clinical usage and the underlying science.

    The course content includes:

    • Pacing Theory (easily explained and divided by sections: Clinical Pacing, troubleshooting, EP lab equipment, etc.).
    • Videos and pictures to facilitate a fast understanding.
    • Interactive quizzes to match the theory for gradual learning.
    • 3 Final Questionnaires to check your overall knowledge about: Pacing Science, Clinical Pacing and (optionally) the multiple uses of  the Micropace stimulator.

     

    • Demo Topic: Diagnostic Pacing Book

      The concept of electrophysiology was first recognised in the 1960’s, followed by diagnostic simulation in the 1970’s and finally RFA in the 1980’s (Boyle, 2002). This section explains the main protocols and their uses: to induce, to measure, or to terminate a tachycardia. 

      From this point forward it is assumed that all students are familiar with the common pacing terminology explained in Pacing 1 – Fundamentals (such as “S1”, burst, BPM conversion to milliseconds, etc).
