Aim and content

This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee.

Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from Nordic countries. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list.


This course is organized in collaboration with Danish Cardiovascular Academy (DCAcademy).


Learning objectives

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

1. Obtain ECG recordings and perform basic ECG interpretation including ability to identify most relevant findings in human medicine (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrio-ventricular block, congenital arrhythmic disorders)

2. Understand diagnostic and treatment of arrhythmia in the clinics - both in humans and animals - including risk factor management, antiarrhythmic drugs, and catheter ablation

3. Understand cellular electrophysiology and application in basic and translational research

4. Have insight in new technologies beyond standard ECG interpretation using new algorithms and machine learning


Content

Aim of this course is to connect and generate mutual understanding of scientists working in health or technical sciences, clinicians, and veterinarians.

Day 1 – Introduction to ECG and clinical applications

Day 1 – Electrophysiology and ECG in basic and translational research

Day 2 - Diagnostics and treatment of arrhythmia in clinical practice (human and animal)

Day 2 – Beyond the ECG, state of the art ECG research


Participants

PhD students in health and medcial sciences, veterinary scienes, and engeneers

You can apply to Danish Cardiovascular Academy for reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs if you live far from Copenhagen. For more information, please check https://dcacademy.dk/grants/reimbursement/
