(FIT)-Module 4 Workshop 6: Electrocardiographic and Electrophysiological Correlations-Gerstenfeld Case 1 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this workshop focused on electrocardiographic electrophysiologic correlations, Ed Gerstenfeld presents board-style questions relating to electrophysiology. A case is discussed involving a 77-year-old woman experiencing rapid palpitations, for which an ECG assessment is conducted. Participants are prompted to determine the mechanism behind the rhythm change observed after administration of an IV medication. The options include depolarization of AV nodal cells, axopotential prolongation, increased potassium channel conductance, and blockade of beta receptors. Participants are encouraged to analyze the provided ECG slides to answer the question.
