Slide 1 :

Arrhythmias: typical manifestations and their management 24th September 2008 Victoria Watson BHF Arrhythmia Nurse Specialist Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust London

Slide 2 :

National Service Framework

Slide 3 :

National Service Framework for Arrhythmias Assessment by Arrhythmia Specialist Sudden Cardiac Death Screening for at risk patients Rapid assessment of syncope Implantable Defibrillators by NICE guidelines Patient Support and Family screening Atrial Fibrillation-NICE GUIDELINES Stroke Prevention Therapy for symptoms Biventricular devices for Heart Failure

Slide 4 :

Symptoms Irregularly irregular pulse Syncope Pre-syncope, dizziness Shortness of breath Fatigue CVA Palpitations NONE

Slide 5 :

Assessment Duration,frequency, Rate/rhythm-tap out Onset/offset Associated symptoms Cardiac history

Slide 6 :

Characteristics of PVC's (Huff, 9-3, 6, 10) PVC’s don’t have P-waves unless they are retrograde (may be buried in T-Wave) T-waves for PVC’s are usually large and opposite in polarity to terminal QRS Wide (> .16 sec) notched PVC’s may indicate a dilated hypokinetic left ventricle Every other beat being a PVC (bigeminy) may indicate coronary artery disease Some PVC’s come between 2 normal sinus beats and are called “interpolated” PVC’s Interpolated PVC – note the sinus rhythm is undisturbed The classic PVC – note the compensatory pause Ventricular Beats- Ectopy

Slide 7 :

Premature atrial ectopic beats

Slide 8 :

The diagnostic process History Examination ECG Blood results Cardiac assessment (echo, exercise test, prolonged ECG monitoring, angiogram, cardiac MRI etc.)

Slide 9 :

TREATMENT DRUG THERAPY CARDIOVERSION ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY STUDIES ABLATION ICD’s BRADY/ TACHY PACING

Slide 10 :

Atrial Fibrillation-irregular,no definite p waves

Slide 11 :

Demographics

Slide 12 :

Causes of AF Hyperthyroidism Intercurrent Illness Especially LRTI, UTI in elderly Perioperative AF Alcohol- probably genetic predisposition

Slide 13 :

Causes continued Any STRUCTURAL heart disease- especially those associated with LA enlargement LVH Reduced systolic function Valvular (especially mitral) heart disease Hypertensive Heart disease Cardiomyopathy of any cause (up to 30%) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Slide 14 :

Rate vs Rhythm Control Consider both in all patients Rhythm control the preferred strategy in Young patients (<65yrs) Highly symptomatic patients Patients who develop heart failure with AF Newly diagnosed AF or AF with clear precipitant

Slide 15 :

Safest Drug in the Management of Atrial Fibrillation Electricity! Cardioversion- Must have 4 INRS >2 pre-procedure BUT- less successful the longer duration of AF with dilated left atrium 50% of patients will have reverted within a year

Slide 16 :

Drugs –rate control NICE recommend:- Beta blocker/ calcium channel blocker for rate control Digoxin only for sedentary patients

Slide 17 :

Drugs to chemically cardiovert Flecanide/propafenone - NOT in structural heart disease Best drug to chemically cardiovert But electrical cardioversion is more effective and safer Sotalol Otherwise less effective and less well tolerated than standard beta blocker Amiodarone -last resort

Slide 18 :

Risk factors for stroke in Atrial Fibrillation NICE 2006 Anticoagulation guidelines warfarin vs aspirin High risk Ischaemic stroke/TIA Age =75 Hypertension Diabetes Vascular disease Valve disease Heart failure Moderate risk Age =65 with no high risk factors Age <75 with hypertension, diabetes or vascular disease Low risk Age <65 with no moderate or high risk factors

Slide 19 :

Anticoagulation All studies show superiority of standard dose warfarin (INR 2-3) over any other strategy in all groups The beneficial effect is even more marked in the elderly (>75) where the risk of embolic stroke climbs significantly But clinicians remain circumspect about using warfarin in the real world (especially in the elderly)

Slide 20 :

Effects of anticoagulation rates on stroke rates

Slide 21 :

Supra ventricular tachycardia-narrow complex, rapid, p waves may/may not be present

Slide 22 :

AVNRT

Slide 23 :

Atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia Most common SVT There is no disease predisposition More prevelant in Women Narrow complex, 120-250 bpm Typically 3rd and 4th Decade Recurrent palpitations RAPID onset and RAPID offset vagal maneuvers to terminate the arrhythmia

Slide 24 :

Cardiac Catheter Ablation Safe low risk procedure, Complication rate of 1-2%, mortality 1-2/1000 Effective, a CURE Ablation Therapy for Arrhythmias AVNRT / AVRT / Atrial Flutter >98% Success Rate Atrial Tachycardia / VT >90% Success Rate Atrial Fibrillation ~70% Success Rate

Slide 25 :

Slide 26 :

Atrial Flutter ECG – regular saw tooth ‘flutter waves’ Ventricular rate will be a 300bpm, 150bpm, 75bpm and regular due to pathway Possible will predispose to A fib Flutter ablation – ablate pathway 98% success

Slide 27 :

Bradycardia Drugs Age Hypothyroidism Ischaemia Excess vagal tone Negative chronotropes Hyperkalaemia

Slide 28 :

Slide 29 :

At Risk Patients Heart failure- reduced systolic function Ischaemic Heart disease Post myocardial infarction Cardiomyopathy of any cause (Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,dilated cardiomyopathy)

Slide 30 :

Ventricular Tachycardia (Monomorphic)

Slide 31 :

Rhythm Strip During Episode of Sudden Death

Slide 32 :

ICD-Key device system components

Slide 33 :

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) Current NICE guidance
