10-year follow-up of interventional electrophysiology: updated German survey during the COVID-19 pandemic

Lars Eckardt et al.

Summary: This study found that the number of EP centers and procedures in Germany has been increasing over the past decade. In 2020, over half of ablations were for the therapy of AF. However, despite the increasing number of procedures, training opportunities are still limited, and most centers did not meet recommended accreditation requirements.

Cardiac electrophysiology and pacing educational and training needs among early-career cardiologists: a national survey of the Young Committee of the Italian Association of Arrhythmology and Cardiac Pacing

Vincenzo Russo et al.

Summary: A survey among early-career cardiologists in Italy suggests that the majority of participants consider themselves not confident in performing cardiac electrophysiology and pacing procedures. Due to the complexity of the treatment for heart rhythm disorders and the long learning curve, structured additional training in cardiac electrophysiology and pacing procedures is required after cardiology fellowship.

Virtual Transformation and the Use of Social Media: Cardiac Electrophysiology Education in the Post-COVID-19 Era

Janet K. Han et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the delivery of education, including cardiac electrophysiology, with a rapid transition to virtual learning and increased use of social media. The transformation has allowed for more global participation in educational activities and real-time dissemination of new advances, techniques, and research findings. Continued hybrid in-person and virtual modalities offer flexibility for electrophysiologists to choose the best option for their individual needs and preferences.

Virtual Transformation and the Use of Social Media: Cardiac Electrophysiology Education in the Post-COVID-19 Era

Janet K. Han et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rapid digital transformation of electrophysiology education, with a shift to virtual and distance learning, aided by social media. Social media has enabled electrophysiologists to participate more widely in educational activities and disseminate new advances and research findings rapidly. The continued use of hybrid in-person and virtual modalities will offer electrophysiologists flexibility to choose the best option for their individual needs and preferences in continuing education.
