SOP SCD Risk Stratification/ICD-Indications

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…

Reducing Missed Remote Device Monitoring Alerts: A Quality Improvement Playbook

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,…

Patient Handout: What to Expect During a Cardiac Device Interrogation

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…
