Video Summary

The video discusses the EP device implant registry case scenario for January 2022, specifically metric 34, which measures the proportion of defibrillator patients with both a primary tachycardia indication and a bradycardia indication. The case involves a 66-year-old female admitted for a dual chamber ICD for secondary prevention due to idiopathic VT. The question is whether this patient is included in the numerator of metric 34 or not. The answer is no, as the patient does not meet the numerator criteria. The video also explains the measures and metrics companion guide for version 2.3 and provides information on how to evaluate the purpose of implanting the RA lead. It emphasizes that metric 34 is for quality improvement purposes and not for punitive actions, public reporting, or pay for performance. No credits were granted in the video.
