Pacing and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) procedural training for novice operators usually takes place in-vivo and methods vary across countries/institutions. No common system exists to objectively assess trainee ability to perform required tasks at predetermined performance levels prior to in-vivo practice. We sought to characterize and validate with experts a reference approach to pacing/CRT implants based on objective and explicit performance quality metrics, for the development of a reproducible, simulation-based, training curriculum aiming to operator proficiency.
