Resynchronization in Congenital Heart Disease-Resynchronization in Congenital Heart Disease

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session discussed advancements in resynchronization pacing, also known as CRT, in congenital heart disease, highlighting various techniques for enhancing cardiac function in patients. Dr. Marston presented on leveraging computational modeling to improve clinical decision-making, specifically in electromechanical dyssynchrony in cardiac patients, using her lab's work from Stanford University. Different pacing strategies like conduction system pacing (CSP), including his bundle and left bundle branch pacing, were reviewed, where recent studies suggest potential benefits over traditional CRT. Dr. Jan Janicek discussed novel echocardiographic techniques to better plan CRT by understanding electromechanical dyssynchrony in various congenital heart conditions. A range of examples and method combinations was used to illustrate how new methods like ultra-high frequency ECG and 3D modeling help optimize CRT. Dr. Adam Keene's talk overviewed the evolution, advantages, and clinical considerations of these pacing approaches and highlighted case studies illustrating the advancements and remaining challenges. The session acknowledged the importance of individualized assessment based on patient anatomy and available technology to improve patient outcomes in CRT.
