(FIT)-Module 5 Workshop 8: Device Cases-Poole Case 1 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this workshop on core concepts in electrophysiology (EP) led by Jeannie Poole from the University of Washington, a case is presented involving a 27-year-old male with a history of syncopal ventricular tachycardia and RV cardiomyopathy. He recently received a dual-chamber transvenous ICD. After performing an interrogation, all impedances and thresholds appeared normal. The question posed is about the next best option for the patient's care: A) order a chest X-ray, B) continue observation, C) schedule an EP lab for a new RV patient's lead, or D) place the patient in a sling for 48 hours.
