Video Summary
The case discusses a 23-year-old woman with a history of palpitations and near syncope, with a family history of sudden death due to a ryanodine receptor mutation. Despite treatment with Nadolol, her palpitations have increased during pregnancy. The dilemma is to choose the most appropriate management strategy from increasing medication dosage, adding another medication, using a wearable defibrillator, or implanting a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (SICD). Given her symptoms and genetic background, careful consideration of additional interventions is necessary to manage her cardiac condition during pregnancy.
