Cardiomyopathy Conference 2020 - Surgery and Devices - Dr Rob Cooper

Dr Rob Cooper introduces surgical interventions and medical devices for managing a range of conditions. 42:05 - Is ablation the only surgery for ventricular tachycardia? 43:10 - What factors could affect the ongoing replacements of CRTD [implantable cardiac resynchronisation therapy] devices and how do you envisage improved battery technology possibly extending the working life [of such devices]? 44:42 - Is there a limit on the number of ablations you can have due to the damage / changes it can make to the heart wall – which is often the reason for the original VT [ventricular tachycardia]? 45:35 - My doctor warned me that if my ICD makes a rumbling sound, I should contact him. I’ve also been told I’ll still have heart failure, so I’m wondering if I should have another battery. I feel ambivalent about having a device that they cardiologist thought was helpful. 46:39 - I am nervous about having my pacemaker replaced with an ICD, can you tell me anything about the operation? 47:28 - I have an S-ICD [subcutaneous ICD] which is switched off because Entresto made a massive improvement to my heart. Should I have it removed, and what about the batteries? 48:21 - HRR [Heart Rate Reserve] – is this 70% of your age-related heart rate maximum [for exercise]? 48:45 - I’ve had my ICD for the last 11 and a half years, I’m on my second battery, how long do the leads usually last?
