Every year, hundreds of thousands of patients receive cardiac rhythm devices to manage bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, and heart failure. As the role of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices continues to expand, so does the complexity of their programming and management. Staying ahead of these advancements is critical for ensuring the best possible care.
Join us for expert-led discussions, real-world case studies, and interactive sessions that provide actionable insights into best practices for follow-up, troubleshooting, and optimizing device therapy. Whether you’re looking to refine your approach or explore the latest innovations, this program will give you the knowledge and tools to elevate your clinical practice.
The Cardiac Device Summit offers an essential update on the indications, follow-up care, and management of cardiac rhythm technologies, with a focus on clinical pearls to optimize patient outcomes. Every year, hundreds of thousands of patients receive cardiac rhythm devices to treat conditions such as bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, and heart failure. The growing indications for implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices over the past decade highlight the expanding role of these interventions in clinical practice. With evolving technology, the programming complexity and management requirements of these devices have also increased. This program will provide expert insights into best practices for follow-up, troubleshooting, and optimizing device therapy to enhance patient care. Attendees will benefit from interactive sessions, case discussions, and a deep dive into the latest advancements in cardiac rhythm management.
