This resource on Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) is an excerpt from the comprehensive EP Anesthesia CRNA Handbook. The handbook provides anesthesia and workflow guidance for electrophysiology teams performing procedures for…
This document provides a standardized protocol for measuring, correcting, and monitoring QTc intervals during initiation and maintenance of antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy, with special considerations for atrial fibrillation and wide…
A standardized, evidence-based framework for managing CIED remote monitoring alerts in outpatient device clinics. Includes a color-coded triage algorithm (RED/YELLOW/GREEN), complete SOP, staff training materials, and interactive metrics dashboard that…
This resource outlines standardized workflows and smartphrase guidance for managing cardiac device alerts, including atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, ICD therapies, lead issues, and battery status. It supports consistent, efficient alert…
This resource provides a standardized screening tool to support safe MRI imaging in patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). It guides clinicians through key device, lead, and pacing dependency…
This resource provides a practical, guideline-based overview of sudden cardiac death risk stratification and ICD indications across a range of cardiomyopathies. It is designed to support clinicians with clear algorithms…
There is a need to establish a standardized process for identifying, contacting, and re-engaging cardiac device patients who have become inactive in remote monitoring or clinic follow-up, in order to…
Missed remote monitoring alerts and unclear escalation pathways represent common, preventable system failures in cardiac device programs, particularly in community and hybrid care settings. These gaps can delay clinical response,…
This patient-facing educational handout explains what a cardiac device interrogation involves in clear, nontechnical language. Patients frequently experience anxiety, confusion, or uncertainty when informed that their pacemaker or defibrillator will…
This policy outlines the management of patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) undergoing radiotherapy treatment. It includes risk stratification flowcharts and example forms for documenting provider correspondence and CIED…
