Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Sam Asabatham, an electrophysiologist at the Mayo Clinic, discusses the malignant mitral valve prolapse syndrome with host Eric Brestowski. The syndrome involves bi-leaflet mitral valve prolapse, complex ventricular ectopy, abnormal repolarization, and mitral annular disjunction. It can lead to polymorphic VT and abnormal late gadolinium enhancement on MRI. Dr. Asabatham explains the significance of MAD and how it may contribute to arrhythmias. Screening for at-risk patients involves looking for symptoms, arrhythmias, and morphology changes. An interesting observation is the correlation between abnormal T-waves and the malignant pattern. Part two of the interview will cover treatment options.
