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.

Teaching Faculty

Judith Ranells, MD, Bengt Herweg, MD, Michael Fradley, MD, Fabio Leonelli, MD, Kathleen Pope, MD, Eric Bennett, MD, Hana Totary-Jain, MD.  

Evaluation

Students will be evaluated based on interaction with the faculty, a research project, and oral or written presentations.
