(FIT)-Module 4 Workshop 7: Electrocradiogrpahic and Electrophysiological Correlations, Atrial Fibrillation, Clinical Scenarios and Syndromes-Gerstenfeld Workshop 7

Gerstenfeld Workshop 7

Pdf Summary

This document refers to a workshop on electrocardiography/EP correlations, atrial fibrillation, clinical scenarios, and syndromes. Various cases are presented with accompanying tracings and the audience is asked to interpret the findings and determine the best management options. <br /><br />In the first case, a patient with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation undergoes ablation, and the tracings show that there is neither entry nor exit block after ablation. In the second case, a patient with recurrent tachycardia after atrial fibrillation ablation undergoes overdrive pacing, and the tracings suggest that linear ablation from the RSPV to LSPV would likely terminate the tachycardia. In the third case, a patient with persistent AF undergoes ablation, and the tracings show entry block but not exit block. In the fourth case, the mechanism of induced tachycardia is determined to be AVRT based on atrial programmed stimulation. In the fifth case, a patient with a history of atrial arrhythmias undergoes diagnostic workup and is diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis. In the final case, a patient presenting with fatigue, palpitations, and a skin rash is diagnosed with sarcoidosis based on MRI and PET scan findings.<br /><br />Overall, these cases highlight the importance of accurate interpretation of tracings and the need for individualized management strategies based on the underlying condition.
