HOME - AF-ABLATION - Department of Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

We propose two Master Courses prepared by the Equipe of the Department of Arrhythmology and Electrophysiology, of the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, directed by Professor Carlo Pappone.

These two Master Courses are addressed to Medical Doctors, especially to Cardiologists, Electrophysiologists or Anesthesiologists, Medical Trainees or Medical Students, and Allied Professionals (Nurses, Technicians, or Biomedical Engineers) interested in developing new knowledge and skills in Electrocardiology and in Basic and Clinical Electrophysiology.

These Master Courses were originally broadcast by Webinar platform on April 4^thand 5^th , 2020, as compendium and conclusion of the lessons of the Course of Cardiology of the Academic Year 2019-2020 of the Faculty of Medicine of the “Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele” Milano Italy.

Noteworthy, this was amid the first examples of a University Course held mainly by remote means, following the isolation rules imposed by the CoViD pandemia, thus they represent a sign of endurance and willing to perform and maintain the highest level of excellence in our work despite the worst possible circumstances.

The clinical and research activity of Prof. Pappone’s team, made up of about 90 professionals, is dedicated to the development and implementation of new therapeutic strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation and flutter, WPW syndrome, nodal and atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia, ventricular tachycardias, ventricular extrasystole, auricle occlusion, and implantation of cardiac stimulation devices and defibrillators. We are the leading center in the world for the practice of ablative therapy and the study of the omics of Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, and other genetic heart diseases. Particular interest is addressed to arrhythmogenic dysplasia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, noncompaction cardiomyopathy, and dilated cardiomyopathy.

The department has three operating rooms, one of which is a hybrid room, equipped with all the most advanced robotic navigation systems for the intracavitary ablation procedures of cardiac arrhythmias and for the implantation of cardiac stimulation devices. The department has 45 hospitalization beds, all equipped with electrocardiographic and telemetric continuous monitoring with 12 leads, and outpatient facilities where all diagnostic procedures are performed for the identification and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including a cardiogenetic service and a remote monitoring service, from which over 3500 patients with implantable cardiac devices are followed. In the research laboratories, the molecular and functional mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias are studied.
