Implementing guideline-directed cardiac rhythm management device therapy
in heart failure – a global, needs-driven, patient-centered educational program
Why
Medication-focused discussions and multiple studies introducing new treatments had an important impact on clinical practice guidelines
The Right implementation of both medical therapy and devices for the Right patients at the Right time is essential but remains a challenge to overcome
Device therapies have been neglected: only 1 in 3 eligible patients is referred for CRT, and only 1 in 7 for ICD
A close collaboration between heart failure specialists and device implanters is essential to ensure the timely identification and referral of patients eligible for cardiac rhythm management devices
