Learning Objectives:

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

dysplasie arrythmogène du VD : savoir reconnaître les éléments en faveur d’une dysplasie chez un patient avec arythmie ventriculaire droite, et reconnaître les éléments importants de l’investigation, du traitement et du suivi - arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC): recognize features differentiating ARVC from benign right ventricular arrhythmia, plan investigation, treatment and follow up;
identifier le patient avec long QT à l’ECG, différencier le long QT congénital du long QT acquis. Planifier l’investigation, le traitement et le suivi du patient avec long QT - identify long QT at the ECG and differentiate congenital from acquired long QT. Plan investigation, treatment and follow up of the patient with long QT; et/and
identifier les défis relié à l’implant de défibrillateurs et réviser la technologie disponible et adaptée à la population de jeunes patients atteints de désordres arythmiques malins - identify challenges related to device implant and treatement in a young patient population and review available technology.

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 specific inherited diseases: arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and long QT syndrome. It will also present the specific challenges related to sudden death prevention and treatment of young patients with inherited arrhythmic heart disease. Clinical scenarios like those addressed in this workshop are a challenge to all involved in the clinical management of these patients and decision making is often difficult given the associated restrictions and potential complications in otherwise often young and healthy individuals. This workshop will provide participants with a comprehensive and practical approach to the diagnostic approach, risk stratification and treatment of ARVC and long QT syndrome. It will then discuss sudden death prevention and technology / devices with specific focus on young patients.

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: Cardiopathies arythmiques héréditaires” 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.
