Workshop Description: This workshop provides an in-depth overview of the most recent Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS)/Canadian Heart Rhythm Society (CHRS) guidelines for the management of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs), including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. The session will focus on best practices for patient selection, implantation, follow-up care, remote monitoring, and management of complications. Emphasis will be placed on practical application through clinical scenarios and audience interaction. Attendees will gain insight into current evidence-based strategies and consensus recommendations for optimizing patient outcomes and device longevity.

Presentations

• Evaluation and Management of Bradycardia - Clarence Khoo
  
• Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy - Nathaniel Hawkins
  
• Conduction System Pacing - Jaimie Manlucu
  
• Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators - Jason Andrade
  
• Leadless and Subcutaneous Devices - Blandine Mondesert
  
• Device Replacement or Retirement - Calum Redpath

  Learning Objectives:

  At the end of this session participants will be able to:

  • apply the latest CCS/CHRS guidelines to the management of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs);
  • identify common complications and device-related issues, including lead failure and infection; and
  • optimize follow-up care through in-person and remote monitoring strategies to improve patient outcomes.
