Description
Summary:General standards and environment Facilities and Faculty Three organizations--the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association (AHA), and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS)--have addressed training requirements and guidelines for permanent pacemaker selection, implantation, and follow-up (5,6); guidelines for the implantation and follow-up of ICDs in cardiovascular practice (7,8); guidelines for training in catheter ablation procedures (9,10); and teaching objectives for fellowship programs in clinical electrophysiology (11,12).
