Overview
In this webinar, experts will talk about the latest evidence on leadless pacing and the newest addition to the leadless pacing portfolio: Micra AV. This will include research and feasibility studies, latest data and patient selection considerations.
Faculty:
Lucas Boersma

Agenda
Learning objective
- The results of the latest Micra clinical studies with Micra VR, reflecting the real-world results, 5 years after it was first launched in Europe
- The studies that resulted in the development of Micra AV (the second-generation leadless pacemaker, designed to provide AV Synchrony), which has been recently introduced in Europe, the early experience and patient selection considerations
Audience
- Cardiologists and electrophysiologists not involved in the implantation of leadless pacemakers, but who have patients who could benefit from the therapy.
- Cardiologists implanting or planning to implant leadless pacemakers.
