(FIT)-Module 5 Workshop 8: Device Cases-Asirvatham Case 2 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses interpreting an EKG and chest x-ray to determine if findings are consistent with an arterial implant. The EKG shows a right bundle branch block pattern, suggesting left ventricular pacing, which can involve epicardial, endocardial, or coronary sinus-based systems. The sharp QRS on the EKG suggests endocardial pacing. The chest x-ray reveals signs typical for an arterial implant as it crosses the clavicle and aligns with the cardiac silhouette’s center, indicating the implant's position in the left ventricle through an arterial route, likely inadvertently placed.
