PVC Localization and Management

Joining us today to discuss PVC Localization and Management is William G. Stevenson, M.D., professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical School, in Nashville Tennessee. 

Specific topics discussed:
• What are some of the initial concerns of Premature Ventricular Complexes?
• How do you classify the alarming features you mentioned, what should we be thinking about?
• How are prolonged ECG recordings evaluated?
• How do you make the call to send the patient to the EP Lab or for an Ablation?
• Is there ever a case of a young person with the probability of channelopathy or ion disorder?
• What is your approach to working to localize these pvs’s on the ECG?
• Is there an area that we should be looking for with more alarming pvc’s and they are coming from?
• Using your approach and from the 12-lead EKG, how do you translate those to mapping during a electrophysiology test?
