Goals and Objectives
This course is designed is designed to demonstrate and enforce the interaction between clinical and foundational science, reinforcing skills of literature review and mechanistic thinking. Specifically, this course will introduce and review clinical cardiac disorders that have a predominantly genetic etiological component. The course will review diagnosis and management of genetically inherited channelopathies and cardiomyopathies, particularly those which increase the risk of sudden cardiac death, and address the relationship between basic electrophysiological principles on a molecular and cellular level to their clinical manifestations.
