ARC TALKS Webinar: Devices for Heart Improvement

In this ARC Talks webinar, amyloidosis cardiologist, Dr. Mazen Hanna discusses the function of implantable, electronic devices in cardiac management of amyloidosis patients. Dr. Hanna provides clarity about which devices exist to assist patients, and the role they serve in heart maintenance. This includes devices for atrial fibrillation management, such as a watchman device, in addition to the indications for a pacemaker or ICD device.
