Abstract

Guidelines defining competency for performing procedures involving cardiac implantable electronic devices and catheter ablation of arrhythmias have been published by the Working Group of Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology of the Swiss Society of Cardiology since 2000. These guidelines have been updated in 2005 and 2011 with the evolution of procedure complexity. They define not only the requirements for baseline training, but also the procedural volume and continued medical education to maintain competency. The current update is warranted owing to the new certification standards of the European Heart Rhythm Association, publication of data on outcome linked to procedural volume, and the emergence of new technologies.
Keywords: cardiac pacemaker; implantable cardioverter defibrillator; catheter ablation; implantation; follow-up; guideline cardiac pacemaker; implantable cardioverter defibrillator; catheter ablation; implantation; follow-up; guideline
