AV Block: Old and New Observations

Description

A 4 talk session highlighting old (but poorly understood) and new findings in AV block, including areas of high therapeutic interest.

Learning Objectives

Identify and differentiate vagally induced AV block from adenosine induced AV block
Describe the different mechanisms of multilevel AV block, both benign (ie AV nodal level with rapid atrial tachycardias) vs malignant (infranodal at lower rates)
Outline an efficient algorithm for rapid detection, and expeditious treatment of AV block after TAVR

Session Chair(s)

Edmond Cronin, MBChB
Emily Ong, MD
