Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the EP device implant registry case scenario for July 2022 is reviewed. The scenario involves a 47-year-old healthcare professional who is admitted for an initial ICD implant. She has had multiple episodes of unexplained syncope, which the clinician believes are due to ventricular arrhythmias. She has ischemic cardiomyopathy secondary to an MI in 2020, as a complication of COVID-19. The patient has been on guideline-directed medical therapy for over a year, with an LVEF of 35% and NYHA class 1. The question is whether this patient will be included in metric number 26, and the answer is no because she does not meet the criteria. The appropriate use criteria rating for this patient is determined to be appropriate, indicating a score of 7 to 9. The patient meets indication 53 in the 2013 AUC document. The video concludes by thanking viewers for watching and highlighting metric 26 and appropriate use criteria.
