(FIT)-Module 4 Workshop 6: Electrocardiographic and Electrophysiological Correlations-Poole Workshop 6

Poole Workshop 6

Pdf Summary

Summary:<br /><br />This document contains summaries of various cases related to electrocardiography (ECG) and electrophysiology. Case 1 discusses the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in a pregnant patient. DCCV and adenosine are recommended as initial treatment options. Case 2 focuses on a patient with atrial fibrillation (AF) who is taking amiodarone and needs to switch to dronedarone. The recommended step is to decrease the dose of amiodarone. Case 3 discusses the use of drugs like quinidine in patients with Brugada syndrome. Case 4 presents a patient with AF who took propafenone and needs to have their heart rate slowed down with metoprolol. Case 5 discusses a patient on amiodarone who is experiencing neurologic symptoms and needs a dose adjustment. Case 6 explains the interaction between dronedarone and certain statin medications. Case 7 describes the potential adverse interaction between St. John's Wort and dofetilide. Case 8 discusses the discontinuation of dronedarone when a patient is taking rifampin. Case 9 focuses on the need to decrease the dose of warfarin when starting amiodarone. Case 10 involves a family with a genetic syndrome likely caused by a PRKAG2 mutation.
