Course curriculum
- Extrasystoles
- Norm or pathology: how to assess detected extrasystoles?
- Extrasystoles as a marker of structural heart disease
- Classification of extrasystoles. Clinical manifestations of extrasystoles
- Extrasystoles in athletes: normal or pathological?
- Association of extrasystoles with other heart diseases
- The role of extrasystoles in the development of cardiomyopathies and sudden cardiac death (SCD)
- Diagnosis of extrasystoles
- Modern methods of treating extrasystoles. Indications for therapy. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment. Treatment in accordance with the clinical guidelines of the Russian Federation and the European Society of Cardiology
- Extrasystoles in comorbid conditions: coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, endocrine disorders (hypo- and hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma)
- Prognosis and risk stratification
- Ventricular premature beats in young people and athletes
- Multiple arrhythmias in a single patient
- Ventricular tachycardias
- Definition, classification, epidemiology. Diagnostic criteria for sustained and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. Classification by duration, mechanism, and clinical significance
- Special forms of ventricular tachycardia: polymorphic, torsades de pointes, fascicular, catecholaminergic polymorphic
- Ventricular tachycardias in structural heart disease
- Clinical manifestations: from asymptomatic to ventricular fibrillation. Association with sudden cardiac death (SCD)
- Features of the course in athletes and patients with implanted devices (ICD, pacemaker)
- Modern diagnostic methods: physical examination, history taking. Distinguishing benign tachycardia from a dangerous form
- Treatment: drug therapy, catheter ablation (indications, technique, efficacy, risks), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), additional non-pharmacological methods
- Ventricular tachycardias and sudden cardiac death (SCD): risk factors, stratification algorithms (ESC, ACC, AHA), preventive strategies
- Complex clinical cases of ventricular tachycardias
Every ventricular arrhythmia confronts the physician with the question: observe or act immediately. The course teaches you to assess the risk of extrasystoles and ventricular tachycardias by ECG and clinical picture and to choose tactics without excessive anxiety or underestimation of the danger.
You will read complex rhythm disturbances more confidently and decide with good grounds when observation, therapy, or referral to an arrhythmologist is needed.
