Course Content

Ablation Biophysics & Lesions: Explain the purpose of an ablation procedure Understand the RF circuit Define current, voltage, power, and impedance Understand the role and interdependence of voltage, power, and impedence Explain resistive heating Explain unipolar ablation Explain bipolar ablation

Modes of Ablation: Understand the role of power in lesion formation Understand the role of duration in lesion formation Understand the role of cavitary blood flow in lesion formation Understand the temperature control mode Describe the role of electrode size in temperature control mode

Ablation Equipment: Explain the use of and RF generator during ablation Set operating mode, duration, power, temperature, and impedence settings. Explain the function of temperature sensors Describe how an irrigated tip catheter works Explain how lesion size, myocardial wall thickness, cavitary blood cooling effects, electrode size and signal resolution may influence catheter choice.

Clinical Ablation: Explain temperature monitoring Explain lesion validation Explain char Explain pops and tamponade
