Advances in Ventricular Arrhythmia (VA) Management and Clinical Outcomes Between East and West (Joint Session)

Description

This session aims to provide new insights into the differences and advances in VA ablation/management and clinical outcomes between Eastern and Western countries. We will focus on understanding substrate/electrogram characteristics in different types of ventricular arrhythmia, as well as exploring various clinical management and outcomes of VA in different diseases.

A joint session with Taiwan Heart Rhythm Society.

Learning Objectives

Describe the anatomy and clinical approaches for left ventricular summit ventricular arrhythmia.
Clarify the risks and benefits of IC drugs in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction with an ICD implantation.
Outline how to approach VT ablation and assessment in patients with anatomical limitations or challenging conditions.
