John Sapp

Dr. John Sapp, a cardiac electrophysiologist and professor at Dalhousie University, dives deep into the complexities of ventricular tachycardia (VT). He explains the transformation of VT from a sudden death threat to a manageable condition with ICDs. The conversation covers the re-entry mechanisms that cause VT, the benefits and risks of antiarrhythmic drugs, and the evolution of VT ablation techniques. Emerging technologies like larger-footprint catheters showcase the future of treatment, while Sapp shares insights on success rates and increasing procedure complexities.
