Expert Takes1 quote

“Training in CCEP has become more complex as the clinical specialty has matured. Use of cardioactive drugs; implantation and use of implantable electronic devices and left atrial appendage occlusion devices; and performance of invasive catheter ablation procedures for arrhythmia management have reached a level of sophistication that has mandated a reevaluation of the training curriculum and the duration of training.”
