Approaches to Manage Uncommon Arrhythmias-Approaches to Manage Uncommon Arrhythmias

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session covered a range of complex cardiac arrhythmias, focusing on the treatment and management strategies for conditions like perinodal and parathisian arrhythmias, atrial flutters post-ablation, and arrhythmias in granulomatous heart disease. Dr. Deepak Padmanabhan highlighted the challenges and intricacies in ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in granulomatous conditions, emphasizing the need for identifying active inflammation and the role of immunosuppressive therapies in improving outcomes. The talk stressed avoiding ablation during active inflammation, suggesting multimodal management approaches and considering ICD implantation for ventricular arrhythmias with structural heart abnormalities. Dr. Yung-Ko Lin discussed the assessment and management of high-risk PVCs and non-sustained VT, emphasizing distinguishing benign from malignant PVCs for effective intervention. The presentation included EKG-based analysis and patient history (specifically syncope and family history) to gauge the risk and determine treatment strategies. The session concluded with practical insights into current methodologies for addressing these complex arrhythmia issues in clinical practice, emphasizing the role of advanced mapping, timely diagnosis, and careful treatment planning.
