As many as 1 in 20 patients with a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) develops an infection within three years of implantation. Gaps and delays in recommended care for CIED infections are all too common and can lead to preventable illness, disability, and death. Join us for a panel discussion as we explore this topic from a health equity lens. Our discussion will cover structural and systematic barriers to timely identification, referral, and treatment, as well as approaches to promote equitable care
This webinar is part of AHA’s CIED Infection Initiative, supported by Philips Image Guided Therapy. The goal of this initiative is to address the gaps in awareness, detection, and appropriate treatment of cardiovascular implantable electronic device infection.
