(FIT)-Module 3 Workshop 5: Invasive and Non-Invasive Correlation-Stevenson Case 1 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the presented workshop scenario by William Stevenson from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, a 72-year-old male with a history of an old inferior wall myocardial infarction experiences palpitations and dyspnea, with ECG tracings recorded before and after cardioversion. The question posed is identifying the most likely mechanism of tachycardia based on this history, with options including reentry in the prior infarct scar, bundle branch reentry, AV reentry, and AV nodal reentry. Given the patient's history and the context, the likely mechanism could be related to reentry in the prior infarct scar.
