COURSE DESCRIPTION
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.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Describe the current indications for pacemaker, ICD, subcutaneous ICD, and resynchronization therapies
• Recognize upcoming technologies for cardiac devices
• Interpret diagnostic material (electrocardiograms, impedance, radiography, and other sources) to troubleshoot suspected implantable device malfunction
• Discuss factors that impart a higher risk for patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) undergoing MRI
• Identify the current capabilities of remote monitoring to manage patients with cardiovascular risk and disease
• Explain the appropriate management strategies for common CIED complications

INTENDED AUDIENCE
The symposium is designed for cardiologists, internists, family practitioners, physician’s assistants and cardiovascular nurse practitioners and technologists caring for patients with cardiac rhythm management.
