(FIT)-Module 4 Workshop 6: Electrocardiographic and Electrophysiological Correlations-Asirvatham Case 5 Answer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses technical aspects of diagnosing tachycardia (tech CURTI) through pathway analysis. It emphasizes identifying pathways within the heart's conduction system using premature atrial contractions (PACs). The process involves analyzing whether PACs alter heartbeats without affecting the atrioventricular (AV) node, indicating pathway involvement. This method determines whether tech CURTI is dependent on a specific pathway. The discussion includes how different pathways, like retrograde and anterograde, and the QRS morphology aid in identifying and confirming these pathways. The goal is to find and manipulate pathways to understand or terminate tachycardia.
