CME Accreditation

Target Audience
This educational activity is designed for electrophysiologists, general cardiologists, electrophysiology fellows in training, and allied healthcare professionals.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the evolving role of conduction system pacing (CSP) for standard permanent pacing and cardiac resynchronization.
• Describe challenges and methods for implantation technique of permanent His-bundle pacing (HBP), left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), and left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP)
• Review the relationship between electrical stimulation of the heart and the mechanics of myocardial contraction.
• Review the history and recent advances of CSP and emerging clinical situations and applications in patients with narrow and wide QRS morphology.
• Review the anatomy of the membranous septum conduction system concerning the right atrium, tricuspid valve, and ventricular septum.
• Summarize strategies and clinical evidence for the various approaches to achieve cardiac resynchronization, including leadless technology, multisite pacing, and left ventricular (LV) endocardial pacing.
• Outline approaches to complications during implant procedures for CSP.
• Discuss approaches for remote monitoring and optimization of CSP and CRT systems.

Abstract Competition

Abstract Competition

9^th Annual International Physiology of Pacing Symposium 2025
