Cardiac Anatomy & Conduction System Explained | Foundations for Implantable Cardiac Devices

Описание: Understanding the heart is the foundation for understanding pacemakers, ICDs, and other implantable cardiac devices.

In this video, we break down cardiac anatomy and the cardiac conduction system in a simple and visual way. You’ll learn how blood flows through the heart and how electrical signals travel through specialized conduction pathways to control every heartbeat.

If you’re new to cardiac devices, electrophysiology, or cardiology in general, this video will give you the essential knowledge needed before learning about pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices, and cardiac leads.

By the end of this lesson you will understand:

🫀 The four chambers of the heart
🫀 Blood flow through the heart step-by-step
🫀 The cardiac conduction system (SA node, AV node, His bundle, bundle branches, Purkinje fibres)
🫀 What can go wrong in the conduction system
🫀 Why understanding this anatomy is critical for implantable cardiac devices
