Video Transcription

Video Summary

The EP Device Implant Registry case scenario for February 2024 reviewed a patient's medical history and recommended treatment. The patient, a 77-year-old male, was admitted for loss of consciousness and had a history of a heart attack. The initial ECG showed abnormal heart rhythms and further monitoring revealed episodes of bradycardia and non-sustained VT. It was recommended to implant a dual-chamber ICD for secondary prevention. However, the patient did not meet the criteria for Metric 26, which evaluates guideline recommendations for ICD patients. The appropriate use criteria document was used to evaluate the patient's case and determine the appropriate metric and indication group.
