Pacemaker, ICD & CRT Comprehensive Training

Training Overview

Pacemaker, ICD & CRT Comprehensive Training is a structured, simulation-based educational program designed for cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiac surgeons, and allied healthcare professionals involved in cardiac rhythm management device therapy. This two-day course focuses on the principles, implantation techniques, programming strategies, and complication management of pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices.

The program begins with core modules covering cardiac electrophysiology fundamentals, pacing indications, guideline-based patient selection, device types, lead technology, and system components. Participants review ECG interpretation, arrhythmia mechanisms, device selection criteria, and pre-procedural planning.

Through hands-on simulation training, participants perform device implantation on high-fidelity cardiac models. Practical sessions include venous access techniques, lead positioning, sensing and pacing optimization, defibrillation testing principles, and CRT lead placement strategies under fluoroscopy-based simulation.

Case-based discussions and scenario-driven simulations address real-world challenges such as lead dislodgement, device infection, inappropriate shocks, non-response to CRT, and peri-procedural complications. Dedicated sessions focus on device programming, troubleshooting, follow-up optimization, and long-term patient management.

Interactive faculty-led panels emphasize multidisciplinary collaboration, workflow optimization, and best practices for integrating device therapy into comprehensive electrophysiology services. By the end of the program, participants gain technical confidence and clinical competence in managing pacemaker, ICD, and CRT patients across the full care continuum.
