Heart Rhythm Society (HRS)

The Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) is the primary U.S. medical society for electrophysiology (EP). The organization promotes education and advocacy for cardiac arrhythmia professionals and patients, including setting policy guidelines and offering expert consensus.

With AFib ablation on the rise, HRS highlights importance of proper EP training

Cardiac ablation techniques and technologies are constantly evolving. Only well-trained specialists should be performing these procedures, the Heart Rhythm Society said in a new policy statement.

LBBAP limits hospital readmissions after TAVR

Left bundle branch area pacing is associated with better long-term outcomes than traditional right ventricular pacing when patients require PPMI after TAVR, according to new research in Heart Rhythm. 

Dan Blumenthal, MD, MBA, chief quality officer at the Cardiovascular Associates of America, and a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, spoke at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) 2024 meeting business sessions on how changes in Medicare payments will impact electrophysiology and cardiology more broadly.

What cardiologists should expect as U.S. healthcare payment models evolve

Cardiologist Dan Blumenthal, MD, MBA, explains how changes in Medicare payments will greatly impact cardiology in the years ahead. In just a few short years, the business side of cardiology could look substantially different than it does today.

Cardiology groups push for Medicare reform in face of ‘unsustainable’ payment cuts

Nearly 130 healthcare groups are urging Congress to pass legislation that would provide relief to U.S. physicians struggling to keep up with wave after wave of payment reductions.

Anne Kroman, DO, PhD, director of lead management and the device clinic, and assistant professor at Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), explains more women need to be included in clinical trials to help better understand sex differences in electrophysiology presentations.

Why electrophysiology trials need to include more women

Most EP clinical study data are from men, Anne Kroman, DO, explained in an interview. This is a significant problem, she said, because heart rhythm issues look quite different in women. 

Jason Wasfy, MD, associate professor at the Harvard Medical School and director of quality and outcomes research, Massachusetts General Hospital Heart Center, spoke at the Heart Rhythm Society 2024 meeting in the business of cardiology sessions about the current and future models of value based payments.

Value-based care gives cardiology practices an opportunity to thrive

Value-based payments can impact cardiology practices in many ways, helping cardiologists acquire new technology and boost patient care.

Vivek Reddy, MD, Director, Cardiac Arrhythmia Service, and the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust Professor of Medicine in Cardiac Electrophysiology, at Mount Sinai in New York, was involved in most of the late-breaking pulsed field ablation (PFA) trials at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) 2024 meeting. He offers an overview of the new data presented and his observations from using PFA. #HRS24 #HRS2024 #PFA #EPeeps

The future of electrophysiology: Reviewing key trends in PFA

Vivek Reddy, MD, was involved in most of the late-breaking pulsed field ablation trials at Heart Rhythm 2024. He spoke to Cardiovascular Business at the conference about those trials and what they mean going forward.
