Cardiac Rhythm Device Summit: Implantation, Management, and Follow Up

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Cardiac Device Summit provides a practical update on the indications, programming, follow-up, and management of cardiac rhythm technologies, with an emphasis on clinical pearls that can be applied in everyday practice.

As the use and complexity of cardiac implantable electronic devices continue to expand, clinicians must stay current with evolving technologies and approaches to patient management. This program will address contemporary considerations in pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and newer technologies for the treatment of arrhythmias.

Through expert-led presentations and case-based discussions, participants will explore strategies for device selection, programming, troubleshooting, and longitudinal management. The course will highlight practical approaches to optimizing device therapy, recognizing and managing common challenges, and integrating emerging technologies into clinical practice.

This program is designed for cardiologists, electrophysiologists, advanced practice providers, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care and management of patients with cardiac rhythm devices.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Describe the current indications for pacemaler, ICD, subcutaneous ICD, and resynchronization therapies
• Recognize upcoming technologies such as leadless and epicardial devices
• Interpret diagnostic material to troubleshoot suspected implantable device malfunction
• Discuss CIED related common issues such as management of device patients having MRI, radiation, infection and extract implantable devices
• Identify the current capabilities and roles of remote monitoring to manage patients with cardiovascular risk and disease

INTENDED AUDIENCE
This symposium is intended for cardiologists, internists, family practitioners, physician assistants, cardiovascular nurse practitioners, and technologists involved in the care of patients requiring cardiac rhythm management.
