Cardiac Device Clinics

Any patient with a cardiac pacemaker, implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD), implantable loop recorder, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) or cardiac contractility modulation device should receive routine assessments of their device to ensure optimal device function, identify and treat underlying abnormal heart rhythms and monitor battery status. Device monitoring is provided both in-person through office visits and remotely by monitoring from a patient’s home.

During a remote appointment, details from the patient’s device is gathered electronically using a phone or Bluetooth transmitter. Data is received and reviewed by dedicated, specially trained nurses and technicians, with consultations by clinical cardiac electrophysiologists so immediate feedback can be shared. In-person office visits are helpful to conduct further, more in-depth assessments of a patient’s heart and device function, and to make device-setting adjustments if needed. Keeping up with regular heart device monitoring helps ensure the best patient outcomes.
