Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session featured several speakers who discussed various aspects of congenital heart disease (CHD) management and care from different perspectives. Jamie Harris, a pediatric nurse practitioner, provided a primer on congenital heart disease lesions, emphasizing the complexity of discussing CHD and its impacts in a short time. She highlighted the significance of anatomical understanding and surgical interventions on arrhythmia development in these patients. The session also featured talks on arrhythmia substrates in CHD, healthcare transition from pediatric to adult care, and managing cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) in congenital heart disease patients. Melissa Olin focused on the arrhythmias related to congenital heart disease, stressing that these can be multifactorial and highlighting the importance of considering both surgical history and conduction system abnormalities. Jacqueline Ryder discussed the importance of structured healthcare transition programs for adolescents with congenital heart disease, emphasizing that success in transition reduces care gaps and improves patient outcomes. Bryn Decker Crooks elaborated on the optimal CIED selection and programming for CHD patients, highlighting the importance of personalized device programming and the benefits of remote monitoring to manage arrhythmic conditions effectively. The session underscored the multifaceted approach required in treating and managing congenital heart disease across different age groups and medical interventions.
