(FIT)-Module 1, Workshop 1: Electrocardiographic/Electrophysiologic Correlation-London Case 4 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The case involves a 21-year-old man worried about sudden death risk following his identical twin's sudden death and a sister's earlier SIDS death. An autopsy found no cause, and no samples are available. The man should undergo appropriate tests: electrocardiogram, transthoracic echocardiogram, electrophysiology study with programmed electrical stimulation, exercise stress testing without imaging, and targeted genetic testing based on clinical evaluations. However, the appropriate tests exclude one option, which needs identification.
