Format: 4 Videos + 45 PDFs | File Size: 15.9 GB
Date: June 19 – 21, 2025
Target Audience: Cardiologists | Internists | Family Practitioners | Advanced Practice Providers | Cardiovascular Technologists

🩺 Course Overview

The Cardiac Device Summit 2025 provides a comprehensive update on the indications, implantation, follow-up, and management of cardiac rhythm technologies. This highly practical program focuses on clinical pearls and real-world strategies to help clinicians optimize care for patients with pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices.

With growing use of cardiac rhythm therapies to manage bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, and heart failure, and with device technology becoming ever more sophisticated, understanding programming, troubleshooting, and follow-up is essential. Led by world-renowned faculty, the summit offers interactive sessions, expert lectures, and case-based discussions highlighting the latest advancements in cardiac rhythm management.

🎯 Learning Objectives

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Describe the current indications for pacemaker, ICD, subcutaneous ICD, and CRT therapies.

• Recognize emerging technologies in cardiac rhythm management.

• Interpret diagnostic data (ECG, impedance, radiography, and telemetry) to troubleshoot device malfunction.

• Discuss MRI-related risks in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).

• Identify the role and capabilities of remote monitoring in long-term patient management.

• Apply evidence-based strategies for managing common CIED complications.
