From the ECG to the Diagnosis: How to Squeeze Out All the Information Contained-Use of Signal Averaged ECG In Predicting VT Recurrence After ARVC Ablation (Presenter: Shih-Ann Chen, MD)

Use of Signal Averaged ECG In Predicting VT Recurrence After ARVC Ablation (Presenter: Shih-Ann Chen, MD)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Xian Chen from Taipei, Taiwan discussed the use of second average ECG in predicting magnetic cardio recurrence after ARVC operation. ARVC is a genetically inherited disease that affects the heart, and there are three clinical stages: subclinical, electrical, and structural changes. Dr. Chen's laboratory uses the revised task force criteria for the diagnosis of ARVC, which includes criteria such as regional right ventricular dysfunction, ECG abnormalities, arrhythmias, and family history. The use of second average ECGs can help predict the recurrence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) after catheter ablation in ARVC patients. Dr. Chen also discussed the different types of scars seen in ARVC patients and their correlation with ventricular arrhythmias. Additionally, the gender and genetic differences in predicting poor outcomes in ARVC patients were discussed. The use of single average ECGs post-operation was found to be associated with fewer ventricular arrhythmia recurrences.
