EP and the Unusual Cardiomyopathies-Predicting and Avoiding Pacemaker-Mediated Cardiomyopathy (Presenter: Jeffrey J. Kim, MD)

Predicting and Avoiding Pacemaker-Mediated Cardiomyopathy (Presenter: Jeffrey J. Kim, MD)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses pacemaker-mediated cardiomyopathy in children. They highlight the physiology behind it, the incidence rates, and potential predictive factors. Genetic predisposition and the burden of pacing are identified as risk factors for cardiomyopathy. The location of the leads and congenital heart disease are also considered. The presentation concludes by providing recommendations for prevention, emphasizing the importance of physiologic pacing and close monitoring for early intervention. The speaker acknowledges that more research is needed in this area.
