Webcast Explores Wearable Cardiac Devices. This webcast will discuss Wearable Cardiac Devices. Learners should expect a broad overview of different heart rhythm wearables. The presenter will review medical devices and what situations to use each as well as a review of commercially available wearable devices and data on their efficacy.
Technology has come a long way since the days of Holter’s 85lb backpack with new monitors the size of a watch or credit card. These devices are no longer only accessible by prescription but also available commercially for patients to purchase on their own.
Today’s webcast focuses on wearable cardiac devices and we’ve invited one of Ohio State University’s Electrophysiology experts to guide us through this topic. We’re pleased to introduce Assistant Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine Dr. Sampath Gunda. Sampath treats a variety of electrophysiology disorders and also engages in research on sudden cardiac death, cardiac autonomic nervous system and arrhythmia prevention.
