Description
EP in Practice – Program 3: Atrial Flutter
This program is a structured guide to supporting Atrial Flutter ablations in the EP lab. We will guide you through both typical & atypical flutter ablations.
What it includes?
Structured lectures on Typical Flutter
- Risk factors, presentation & management considerations for atrial flutter
- Relevant anatomy & physiology essential to understanding macro-reentry in the atria & understanding why the ECG looks the way it does in atrial flutter.
- Understand how the direction of atrial depolarisation influences the EGM’s, how to measure trans-isthmus times and perform & interpret atrial entrainment during atrial flutter.
- What to look out for and what to measure during atrial flutter ablation
- The pros & cons of 3D mapping and how to interpret their 3D activation maps.
- Typical Flutter Quiz.
Structured lectures on Atypical Flutter
- The Common types of RA & LA atypical flutters encountered in the EP lab
- The different anatomical structures relevant to choosing an ablation strategy for atypical flutter, maximising efficacy & minimising risk.
- The epicardial structures relevant in mapping & ablating atypical flutter
- Common entrainment sites & ablation strategies employed in atypical flutter ablations
- Atypical Flutter Quiz
