The burden of device management is real. Tomorrow it will only be worse. It’s estimated that by 2022, we could be facing 6X more device transmissions. That’s real change. Decisions need to be made to tackle the challenge. Solutions exist to better prepare your clinic for today and tomorrow.
Learning Objectives:
• What factors drive CIED burden growth?
• Why does CIED management matter?
• Quantify the benefits of better device management

Dr. Mofrad has always felt at home in medicine having both a father and sister who are physicians. Cardiovascular surgery was his intended path, until an early internship during med-school when he first discovered electrophysiology and the ability to cure arrhythmias via ablation procedures. Dr. Mofrad met EP mentors throughout his internship and residency that continued to foster his curiosity and cemented his love for treating rhythm disturbances. His professional interests include ventricular tachycardia and ablation, and catheter ablation therapies for atrial fibrillation.
