Arrhythmia and conduction
Basic steps in Lab
Getting these basics correct is necessary to avoid frustration
- Catheter placement
- Electrodes, signals and filters
- Basic intervals
- Hierarchy of conduction and activation sequence
Entrainment
Entrainment is the holy grail of identifying the underlying mechanisms of arrhythmia.
ECG
ECG – 101. Most read ECGs by pattern recognition. The electrophysiologist (and everyone else) should read it by scientific analysis (then no need to remember patterns !)
- ECG Made really easy
- ECG Analysis of Pre-excitation (WPW) without algorithms
- ECG analysis of narrow complex arrhythmia
- ECG Analysis of wide complex arrhythmia
Accessory Pathways
- Parahisian pacing
- Differential pacing
- Pre-excitation index
- Effect of bundle branch block
- Atrio- fasciclular pathways
- Nodo-ventricular / nodo-fasciclular pathways
- PJRT
Narrow complex tachycardia
- Approach to NCT
- His Synchronous PVCs
- Ventricular overdrive pacing – beyond PPI-TCL
- PACs for NCTs
AVNRT
- Anatomy for AVNRT
- Typical AVNRT
- Atypical AVNRT
Atrial Tachycardia
- CTI Flutter
- Mitral isthmus flutter
- Focal Atrial Tachycardia
- Scar related atrial flutter
Wide Complex Tachycardia
- Approach to WCT
- SVT or VT – choice is yours
- Scar related re-entry : Application of entertainment principles
- Outflow VT
- ILVT
- Bundle branch re-entry
