Do #EPeeps believe in AVNRT upper common pathway (block)?

This patient had:
1. AH jump
2. Septal VA < 80 ms
3. Concentric A during SVT
4. During RVP: (Stim-A)-(V-A) > 85 ms
5. During RVP: PPI-TCL > 115 ms
6. SVT terminated by RV burst pacing
7. Ablation in TOK rendered non-inducible

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, epicardial access. Pacing from ablator.

I’m very proud of Dr. Lin for his first post on the blog.

60M with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy, prior inferoposterior OMI.

Overall impression is VT with fusion complexes. But...fusion with what? I thought supraventricular capture at first, but I am leaning more toward fusion with unrelated PVCs now.

I can't figure out an elegant explanation for the intermittent aberrancy.

Anyone?

So much to see here!! What explains the various QRS morphologies?

VT entrainment.
Some of you want to learn it from the beginning.
Some just want the punchline.
Here's a direct link to the climax of the video, with examples of all the possible entrainment locations (isthmus, entrance, exit, bystander, outer loop, etc)

Overhead page code blue. You arrive bedside to find ongoing chest compressions. First pulse check, you see this.

What next?

Glad to see the Australian guidelines reflect the data where American guidelines (@accintouch.bsky.social) were stuck in an antiquated era.

The best time to move on from STEMI was years ago. The second best time is now.

Can you localize the culprit lesion on angiogram without taking ECG findings into account?

🚨 OMG, I actually just sat down and did my video narration of my VT entrainment talk (!!!)
I'm converting to MP4 video right now.
Might upload to YouTube soon, or I might go to bed and upload within the next day.
But holy cow, it was a big effort and I'm so glad to get it done!!!!
