(FIT)-Module 4 Workshop 6: Electrocardiographic and Electrophysiological Correlations-Asirvatham Case 3 Answer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion clarifies that the condition in question is not Epstein anomaly but rather mitral annular disjunction. This involves a misplacement of the mitral valve leaflet, which can lead to ventricular arrhythmias and is often associated with mitral valve prolapse. Cardiac MRI can reveal fibrosis in related structures. When treating this condition, care must be taken during ablation to ensure the affected area is correctly targeted. Epstein anomaly affects the tricuspid valve and involves a displacement toward the ventricles. Left atrial flutter ablation may be challenging, and MRI plays a role in patient evaluation.
