Workshop Description: This is proposed Part 3 of a 3 part half-day workshop series on pediatric and congenital electrophysiology. Part 3 of this series will focus on recent updates regarding arrhythmia management in the electrophysiology (EP) lab and cardiac intensive care unit for pediatric patients and patients with congenital heart disease.
The first talk in the session is titled "Updates from the EP lab: What pediatric and congenital cardiologists should know about new techniques and outcomes”. This talk will focus on newer technologies used in the invasive assessment and ablation of arrhythmia substrates in children and patients with congenital heart disease. This will include discussion of intracardiac echo in children and patients with congenital heart disease, the outcomes of recent multicenter studies focusing on ablation in children and patients with congenital heart disease, the use of high density mapping technologies, and cardioneural ablation. This talk will be 20 minutes in duration and will start and conclude with a case presentation. The session will also include live audience polling.
The second talk in this session is titled “Updates on preventing and managing post-operative arrhythmias in pediatrics and congenital heart disease". This session will provide the audience with a review on the most recent data on the pre- and post-operative management of these patients including pre-operative conduction system mapping, indications for earlier post-operative pacemaker implantation for post-operative AV block, and use of newer antiarrhythmics in the management of post-operative junctional ectopic tachycardia (ex. ivabradine). This talk will be 20 minutes in duration and will start and conclude with a case presentation. The session will also include live audience polling.
The session will conclude with a 15-18 minute question and answer session and panel discussion with the two moderators and two speakers as members of the panel during which the audience can interact with the speakers.
