The Lead Episode 104 Speaker Information

Pdf Summary

The document outlines a discussion hosted by Sandeep A. Saha, MD, MS, FHRS, from the Oregon Heart Center PC, on the use of Implantable Loop Recorders (ILRs) for detecting arrhythmias in patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). The discussion is based on an article published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, authored by several experts including Omar M. Abdelfattah and Martin Maron. <br /><br />Contributors to this discussion include Saket Sanghai, MD, FHRS from Oregon Health & Science University, and Krishna Pothineni, MD from the Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute. These contributors and the host bring expertise in the field of cardiac electrophysiology to the conversation.<br /><br />Disclosures from the contributors and the host include honoraria, speaking, and consulting fees from companies such as Medtronic, Inc., and affiliations with other major firms in the healthcare and technology sectors. These disclosures are essential in understanding any potential conflicts of interest in the discussion.<br /><br />The focus on ILRs pertains to their role in continuously monitoring cardiac activity, allowing for better detection of arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, which are common in patients with HCM. The use of ILRs is proposed as a potentially advantageous tool in managing and understanding the arrhythmic risks associated with HCM, providing real-time data and insights that can enhance patient care and improve outcomes.<br /><br />This discussion aims to delve into the effectiveness, benefits, and possibly the limitations of utilizing ILRs in clinical practice for HCM patients, contributing to the ongoing research and discussion within the field of cardiology and electrophysiology.
