Monitoring Heart Health: The Role of Portable EKG Devices in Patient Care

Does hearing about your patient’s palpitations give YOU palpitations because you don’t know what to do next? Treat your tachycardia  with this episode of the Cribsiders, as we talk with special guest Dr. Anna Kamp, a pediatric electrophysiologist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, about her approach to stable arrhythmias in the outpatient setting. We learn about “red flags” in the history and physical exam that warrant immediate referral to cardiology, whether you should order an echo or event monitor before sending a patient to cardiology, and how you can incorporate wearable EKG technology into your practice.
