The Lead Podcast presented by Heart Rhythm SocietyThe Lead Podcast - Episode 71William H. Sauer, MD, FHRS, CCDS, Brigham and Women's Hospital is joined by Andrés Felipe Miranda-Arboleda, MD, Brigham and Women's Hospital Babak Nazer, MD, University of Washington to discuss how Purkinje fibers play an important role in the initiation and maintenance of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT). Fascicular substrate modification (FSM) approaches have been suggested to treat recurrent VF in case reports and small case series. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep.2024.03.035 Host Disclosure(s): W.

The Journey to BetterAbout the Journey not the Destination w/ Dr. Babak NazerBill is joined by Dr. Babak Nazer the first Electrophysiologist on the podcast and his colleague at UW Medicine Heart Institute specializing in complex ablation of arrhythmia including ventricular tachycardia. In addition to clinical work he has garnered a lot of news around a device in development in his research lab on campus.Dr. Nazer directs the UW Translational Electrophysiology Laboratory, where his research focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias (premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and ventricular tachycardia (VT).

Coffee + CardiologyNazer's ReturnBabak Nazer, MD directs the UW Translational Electrophysiology Laboratory, where his research focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias (premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). In collaboration with acoustic physicists and biomedical engineers, his laboratory develops new diagnostic and therapeutic ablation tools for the treatment of PVCs and VT, particularly those using ultrasound as an energy source. As Director of the UW Multidisciplinary Ventricular Arrhythmia Program, he collaborates with psychologists to investigate the psychosocial symptoms associated with VT and defibrillator shocks, and therapies to alleviate these symptoms. bnazer@uw.edu2023-01-2359 min
