Use of a two-handed model to improve comprehension of ventricular outflow tract anatomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mastering cardiac anatomy is a formidable obstacle in the learning process for cardiac electrophysiology trainees. The complex three-dimensional characteristics and contiguous relationship of the ventricular outflow tract are particularly difficult to visualize with the limited study methods available. The hands can recreate a morphology similar to the ventricular outflow tract; this study explored whether a two-handed model of the heart helps electrophysiology trainees improve their understanding of ventricular outflow tract anatomy.

Methods

After an initial assessment, trainees were randomly placed into variable and control groups. Subsequently, all trainees learned the outflow tract anatomy using routine methods, with the variable group receiving additional ins
