Assessment of novel electrophysiology simulator-a survey study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Invasive electrophysiology (EP) training requires intellectual skills related to the interpretation of intracardiac electrograms. The classic approach to the education of young electrophysiologists focused solely on theoretical knowledge and overseen procedures in patients as no real-life-like simulation of EP studies was available.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to assess a novel tool for EP training based on fully interactive, online simulator providing real clinical experience to the users.

Methods

EP simulator users access a system with simulated electrocardiogram, mimicking signals recorded by a catheter. Assessment of EP simulator by 40 electrophysiologists from 16 countries was collected via online questionnaire.
