PVCs indications, mapping techniques, & ablation approaches origin sites, ECG characteristics

This Podcast is based on an article, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Clinical Electrophysiology, examines the indications, mapping techniques, and ablation approaches for treating premature ventricular complexes (PVCs), which are common heart rhythm disturbances. The Podcast provides a comprehensive overview of the different PVC origination sites, ECG characteristics, and the latest technologies and strategies used for successful ablation. The Podcast highlight the challenges and risks associated with ablating PVCs, particularly those originating from deep within the myocardium, and offer a detailed description of the various energy sources used in the ablation procedure, including radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, ethanol ablation, and emerging techniques like stereotactic radioablation and pulsed field ablation.
