More than 8 in 10 CIED infection patients are not receiving guideline-driven care
Did you miss the ACC 2022 Late-breaker in April that showed more than 8 in 10 patients were not receiving guideline driven care with CIED infections? Hear some of the primary investigators’ thoughts in these two videos and learn how you can improve patient care and save lives with timely infection identification and full CIED system extraction.
Is the issue of CIED infection and need for removal well known amongst the medical community?
The guidelines are clear on extraction and complete hardware removal with patients who have a known device infection.Why is this late-breaking clinical trial on CIED infection so important?
While there are a lot of studies that focus on treatment for device infection in single centers or single health systems, there are very few analyses that look at the management of CIED infection across an entire country.Jonathan Piccini, MD, MHS, FACC, FAHA, FHRS
