Overview
In this on-demand version of the educational webinar, Prof Christophe Leclercq (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire of Rennes, France) joins Dr Diogo Cavaco (Hospital Santa Cruz, Lisbon, Portugal), Dr Marta Pachón (University Hospital, Toledo, Spain), and Dr Chris Pepper (Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, UK) to examine the role of leadless pacemakers in transforming the treatment of patients with cardiac rhythm disorders.
With a programme curated to provide general cardiologists with practical insights based on real-world cases to enhance their knowledge of leadless pacemakers’ indications, the webinar supports attendees' understanding of the benefits of the technology in specific patient groups.
With a focus on key clinical milestones and patient selection criteria (in context of the latest guidelines), this programme draws on the clinical experience and knowledge of the faculty to assist cardiovascular professionals to stay updated on cutting-edge treatments and advancements in leadless pacemaker technology.

Part 1
Welcome
Moderator Prof Christophe Leclercq sets the scene for the proceedings, including outlining the chief aims of the webinar, namely to highlight the key clinical milestones in leadless pacing, examine the latest guidelines and consensus for selecting patients for leadless pacing, and to explore real-life cases to better understand leadless pacing candidates.
