(FIT)-Module 4 Workshop 6: Electrocardiographic and Electrophysiological Correlations-Gerstenfeld Case 3 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this case study, a 69-year-old patient with post-infarct cardiomyopathy and an ICD is experiencing shocks and is referred for ablation. During the procedure, BT is induced, and overdrive pacing is performed from a mapping catheter in a low voltage area. The 12-lead ECG is analyzed to determine the classification of the paced site, choosing from options such as entrance, exit, isthmus, adjacent bystander, outer loop, or remote bystander. The case emphasizes using electronic calipers for precise measurement during the exam, which is a scenario likely to appear on board exams.
