Understand the device.
Read the behavior.
A seven-module educational course covering pacemakers, ICDs, CRT, leadless pacing, sensing and capture, interrogation concepts, and structured device troubleshooting.
Device learning path
Start with pacing fundamentals, then build toward interrogation and troubleshooting.
Pacemaker Fundamentals
Build a clean foundation: what a pacemaker senses, when it paces, and why a pacing spike alone does not prove capture.
Start module →ICD Fundamentals
Understand how ICDs detect ventricular tachyarrhythmias and conceptually use ATP and shock therapy.
Start module →CRT Fundamentals
Learn the purpose of cardiac resynchronization and how coordinated ventricular pacing differs from standard bradycardia pacing.
Start module →Leadless Pacing
Understand the architecture and evolving capabilities of intracardiac leadless pacing systems.
Start module →Sensing, Capture & Thresholds
Master the language of device work: sensing, capture, pacing threshold, oversensing and undersensing.
Start module →Interrogation Basics
Learn a structured way to review battery, lead trends, rhythm, pacing, episodes and stored electrograms.
Start module →Device Troubleshooting
Practice describing device behavior, separating sensing from capture problems, and escalating findings precisely.
Start module →How EP Tech Hub teaches devices
Focus on concepts that transfer across manufacturers: sensing → timing → output → capture → stored data → troubleshooting. Exact programming terminology, algorithms, alert behavior and workflows vary by manufacturer and model.
