Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session participants will be able to:

to assess and treat a patient presenting in arrhythmic storm and to judge when reference to a tertiary EP center is required;
Évaluer et planifier le traitement d’un patient se présentant en tempête arythmique et juger quand une référence en électrophysiologie tertiaire est nécessaire;
to identify which patient can benefit from catheter ablation, when this therapy should be considered in patients with arrhythmic storm and which clinical features are important to assess in relation to the ablation procedure; and
Identifier quel patient peut bénéficier d’une procédure d’ablation de tachycardie ventriculaire par cathéter, quand cette stratégie de traitement doit être considérée chez les patients en tempête arythmique et quelles sont les prérequis pour une telle procédure; et
consider alternate therapies for management of VT in patients with intractable arrhythmia.
considérer des thérapies alternatives à l’ablation et aux antiarythmiques usuels chez les patients avec arythmie ventriculaire réfractaire.

Workshop description

This workshop is intended to be presented in French, as part of the partnership with CCC and ACQ.
This workshop will fulfill the learning needs of those seeking a comprehensive overview of management and treatment of ventricular tachycardia occurring in the form of an arrythmia storm. Clinical scenarios like those addressed in this workshop are a frequent challenge to all involved in the clinical management of patients. This workshop will provide participants with a comprehensive and practical approach to initial management of ventricular tachycardia and arrhythmia storm, adequate timing to seek electrophysiology expertise, and advanced treatment strategies such as catheter ablation, sympathectomy, pacing and mechanical support.
The ACQ CME committee planned this workshop. Members of this committee include community and academic cardiologists, electrophysiologists and cardiology resident from diverse practices and experience across Quebec. The ACQ CME has developed an objective and balanced representation of the topic of " Atelier ACQ-CCC: Prise en charge et traitement avancé de la tempête arythmique" that is completely free of third-party influence and/or support. Selected speakers from across Quebec are representative of diversity in gender, generation and practice.
