Fellowship Programs Demystified: Why and When You Should Consider a Fellowship

ADN Center of Excellence

Desire for Subspecialization For physicians who already have a general specialty, such as cardiology or internal medicine, a fellowship offers a route to subspecialization. For example, transitioning from general cardiology to interventional cardiology or electrophysiology. Here are a few examples: 1.

Electrophysiology Catheters and EP Tracing in Ventricular Pacing

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Just before discussing about an electrophysiology tracing in ventricular pacing, we will have a look at how the electrodes are placed. This is the left anterior oblique view and right anterior oblique view on fluoroscopy. Multiple catheters can be seen here.

Requirements for Re-entry

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

These are the basic requirements for re-entry in cardiac electrophysiology: The impulse should re-excite the same area again and again repeatedly The impulse should find the same area excitable when it reaches back The area should have sufficient time to recover The impulse should be constrained or directed to reach back to the same area

Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Electrophysiological study will show that, and this pathway can be ablated. Periprocedural electrophysiological study and ablation of potential arrhythmic circuits, have been suggested as a preventive strategy. But presence of an accessory right sided pathway, will cause this RBBB pattern to disappear.

Brugada Syndrome: Diagnosis and Risk Stratification

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This is mainly to account for the individual variation in anatomical location of right ventricular outflow tract, the main location of electrophysiological abnormalities in Brugada syndrome. Opinion is divided on the need for electrophysiology study.

Ventricular Tachycardia Management

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Chronic recurrent monomorphic VT like fascicular tachycardia and right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia are also amenable to electrophysiological mapping and ablation.
