EP 101 2020: A Virtual Program for Incoming EP Fellows-Techniques of Differentiating Tachycardias

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Brad Knight's video discusses the mechanisms and characteristics of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and provides guidance on diagnosing and treating different types of arrhythmias using electrophysiology (EP) techniques. He explains the importance of analyzing electrocardiograms (EKGs) to determine the type of SVT and identifies specific characteristics to look for, such as tachycardia speed, bundle branch block, and termination patterns. Dr. Knight also demonstrates various pacing maneuvers, like ventricular overdrive pacing, to differentiate between different types of arrhythmias. He emphasizes the need for reproducibility and accurate interpretation of the results. The video offers practical insights into EP procedures and the methods used to diagnose and treat different types of arrhythmias.
