EP Fellows Curriculum: Mapping & Ablation of PVCs

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker in the video talks about the mapping and ablation of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). They discuss the importance of patient selection and pre-procedural evaluation. The speaker also covers mapping strategies for PVCs originating from different sites in the heart, such as the right ventricular outflow tract, left ventricular outflow tract, papillary muscles, and aorta mitral continuity. They emphasize the use of EKG findings to determine the site of origin for PVCs. Advanced imaging techniques like cardiac MRI are highlighted for evaluating patients with frequent PVCs. The benefits of PVC ablation for patients with cardiomyopathy and the challenges and outcomes of the procedure are also discussed. The video provides a comprehensive overview of PVC mapping and ablation, emphasizing key considerations and strategies for successful treatment.
