Course in techniques of implantation of electro-stimulation devices: pacemakers, defibrillators and

Training is divided into learning the techniques of implementing different systems of electro-stimulation in an animal model; which allows to reproduce, successfully, anatomo-physiological conditions of the surgical technique necessary to treat real patients. Thus, we highlight that the knowledge acquired by students are not applied in virtual models, but live in. This model allows a real translation of learned to routine clinical practice.
