European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), European Society of Cardiology (ESC) · 2024 updated EHRA Core Curriculum for physicians and allied professionals; accepted 2024-09-12 and published online 2024-09-19. Current physician programme page consulted 2026-10-13. The workbook label ECDS maps to the historically evidenced EHRA Certified Cardiac Device Specialist designation; it is not a separate current examination. The current official programme is EHRA Certification in Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices for Physicians (CIED), formerly EHRA Cardiac Pacing until 2024. No separate examination-specific effective date or authenticated current numerical distribution was established. The full official curriculum scope is broader than this selective learning bundle.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
