Skeletal Myopathies With an Arrhythmia Phenotype (Presenter: Naomi J. Kertesz, MD, FHRS, CEPS-P)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this talk, Dr. Naomi Cortez discusses the relationship between skeletal myopathies and arrhythmias. She focuses on various forms of muscular dystrophy, including Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, as well as Kern-Sayer syndrome. Dr. Cortez highlights the incidence and onset of these diseases and their manifestations as either cardiomyopathic, conduction abnormality, or arrhythmia phenotypes. She also discusses the challenges and considerations in implanting defibrillators in patients with muscular dystrophy. The talk concludes by emphasizing the need for guidelines specific to this population.
