To Pace , Or Not To Pace: An Update on Post TAVR Conduction Disturbances

EP Boston Presents an Update on TAVR Conduction Study

Come join us for an exciting night at Northeastern University's East Village Residence Hall where we will explore the TAVR procedure and its implications for the conduction system. The TAVR volume has been rising steadily since its inception and only promises to grow further. The incidence of conduction disturbances post procedure requiring pacemaker is relatively low but predicting which patients will develop conduction disease is an area of immense interest. Dr Alfred Buxton has been studying this for several years and will present his findings including EP Studies that he performed in the TAVR suite as well as follow up data from surface EKGs and ambulatory monitors.

Learn about what is happening anatomically and physiologically to the heart and conduction system as the TAVR valve is being deployed. How does this lead to complications like complete heart block? Does everyone need a temporary pacemaker, what about a permanent one? And what about post TAVR? What changes in the surface EKG are indicative of delayed paroxsymal complete heart block? Can this be predicted or forecast?

EP groups around the world are trying to answer these questions and we are thrilled to present a large scale trial done in Boston trying to provide guidance.

Get ready to learn, network, and have a great time with your fellow EP allied professionals, industry colleagues and other EP enthusiasts. This in-person event promises to be informative and engaging, so mark your calendars and don't miss out! See you there!
