(FIT)-Module 4 Workshop 7: Electrocradiogrpahic and Electrophysiological Correlations, Atrial Fibrillation, Clinical Scenarios and Syndromes-Asirvatham Case 1 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Sam Asravatham, an electrophysiologist at Mayo Clinic, discusses cases involving atrial fibrillation (AFib), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and common scenarios. He presents an intracardiac tracing from a patient with a normal heart experiencing sudden onset and offset of palpitations. Viewers are prompted to consider which condition is least likely, given the tracing: typical ventricular reentry, right pre-wall accessory pathway, left atrial tachycardia, or junctional tachycardia. Various catheter placements, including the coronary sinus, are detailed to aid in this differential diagnosis.
