Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: EP Considerations-Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias in HCM (Presenter: Usha B. Tedrow, MD, MS, FHRS)

Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias in HCM (Presenter: Usha B. Tedrow, MD, MS, FHRS)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the use of catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The speaker presents data from studies that show the prevalence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with HCM, as well as the predictors for sustained ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment. They also explain the different types of VTs that are commonly seen in HCM and discuss the challenges in detecting and treating these arrhythmias. The speaker emphasizes the importance of a team approach in managing these patients, particularly those with reduced ejection fraction and apical aneurysm, and highlights the need for adjunctive imaging and careful planning for catheter ablation procedures. Additionally, they present case examples of patients with HCM and discuss the difficulties and potential strategies for ablating these arrhythmias. Overall, the speaker emphasizes that while monomorphic VT is uncommon in HCM, it can have significant morbidity and mortality, and a multidisciplinary approach is crucial for successful management.
