A Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) refers to a group of electronic devices designed to manage abnormal heart rhythms and other cardiac issues. These devices are implanted in patients to help regulate heart function and include:
CIEDs are crucial for managing various cardiac conditions and ensuring the heart works effectively. Programming these devices correctly is essential to tailor the treatment to each patient’s specific needs.
CIED Programming involves adjusting the settings and functions of an implanted cardiac device to ensure optimal performance for the individual patient. After implantation, the device requires regular monitoring and fine-tuning to match the patient’s evolving medical condition and lifestyle.
Programming is done using a specialised external programmer, which communicates wirelessly with the implanted device. This allows the cardiologist or electrophysiologist to modify the device’s settings, monitor its function, and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
CIED programming is typically performed:
