This SOP provides a concise, guideline-based framework for sudden cardiac death risk stratification and ICD indications across multiple cardiomyopathies, including ischemic and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, ARVC, HOCM, myotonic dystrophy, and…
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 resource outlines standardized physician notification and escalation criteria for device clinic alerts across pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices, and implantable loop recorders. It defines arrhythmia, heart failure, and device-related alert…
This resource provides clear, easy-to-understand information for patients with pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). It explains what to expect after device implantation, how to care for your incision, safety tips…
This document outlines a standardized protocol for safely performing MRI scans in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including both MRI-conditional and legacy systems. It details eligibility criteria, device-specific…
These documents describe an IRB-approved research study and clinical safety workflow that allows patients with pacemakers/ICDs (CIEDs) to undergo clinically indicated MRI with standardized monitoring, device programming, and follow-up, while…
This patient-facing educational resource explains the Convergent Hybrid Ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation, a two-stage treatment option designed for patients with persistent or long-standing AF who continue to have symptoms…
The Anesthesia Checklist for EP Procedures provides a structured and safe approach for anesthesia management during electrophysiology (EP) procedures.
To ensure optimal care and outcomes for patients with atrial fibrillation, hospitals and electrophysiologists will need to take a systems-based approach to EP lab efficiency, focused on standardizing processes while…
