EP 101 2020: A Virtual Program for Incoming EP Fellows-Basic Stimulation Protocols and Electrophysiologic Evaluations

Basic Stimulation Protocols and Electrophysiologic Evaluations

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses basic stimulation protocols and EP evaluations. He shows examples of intracardiac recordings and explains the field of view and types of recordings obtained. The speaker discusses measuring intervals inside the heart and the importance of recording intracardiac HIS signals. They also explain the concept of near and far field recordings and when to use each. Pacing maneuvers during sinus rhythm and tachycardia are discussed, as well as the significance of squared off morphology in electrograms. The discussion also touches on fractionated potentials, diastolic and systolic potentials, and retrograde conduction. The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding these basic concepts in order to interpret EP studies.
