(FIT)-Module 2 Special Workshop: 12 Lead ECG for PVC and VT Localization-Stevenson Case 9 Answer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the localization of ventricular ectopy through ECG analysis to plan ablation procedures. It covers identifying the origin of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and emphasizes the importance of ECG for understanding potential risks and positions relative to the heart's conduction system. Epicardial origins can often be inferred from QRS complex patterns, but intracardiac activation mapping is more reliable. ECG localization, while useful, can mislead without structural heart disease and may not be definitive for certain arrhythmias. The great cardiac vein is highlighted as a site for ablating specific epicardial PVCs.
