Video Summary
In this video segment, Eric Prostowski interviews David Frankel, a specialist in electrophysiology, about pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. They discuss the risk factors for developing this condition, including a wide QRS duration and being male. They also touch on the importance of pacing burden and duration of the QRS paced. David emphasizes the need for active surveillance and regular echocardiograms to detect any decrease in ejection fraction. He recommends considering an upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for patients with pacing-induced cardiomyopathy, as it has shown promising results in improving ejection fraction. Finally, he highlights the importance of ruling out other potential causes before diagnosing pacing-induced cardiomyopathy.
