Precision in Cardiac Monitoring: Leading the Way With Insertable Cardiac Monitors
Join experts Dr Dhanunjaya (DJ) Lakkireddy (Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute, US) and Dr Raffaele De Lucia (Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Pisana, IT) in this insightful video series exploring the critical role of Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICMs) in arrhythmia detection and long-term patient management.
They discuss the durability and effectiveness of these devices, their impact on post-procedure monitoring and their importance in high-risk atrial fibrillation (AF) populations. The series also highlights expanding patient indications for ICM use and provides real-world case insights, offering practical guidance for optimising cardiac care through continuous and precise monitoring.
