[SCD-FORUM] 109E Parasystole and syncope. Dr. Pervova.

[SCD Symposium]

Dear Colleagues:

I would like to ask about the relationship between syncope and parasystole.
Supraventricular parasystole diagnosis, usually, is favorable. 
On the other hand, its ventricular form can be complicated with ventricular tachycardia. Therefore, risk stratification of a patient with parasystole is very important. In these cases, the treatment may vary in a very wide range: from no treatment at all to antiarrhythmic drug treatment, even RF ablation of arrhythmogenic foci.
I understand that the syndromes discussed in this symposium are more current. However, parasystoles have a higher incidence than these syndromes. Or, maybe parasystoles are no longer mentioned and were “merged” into another new syndrome?
I would like to know your opinions.

My regards to all the participants,

Dr. Ekaterina Pervova
