In this Controversies in EP episode, #HRStv host Nashwa Abdulsalam, MBBS, is joined by Nicolette Bembenek, MD, to discuss a key gap in managing AFib. While electrophysiologists are comfortable prescribing antiarrhythmic drugs and performing ablations, there's often no clear plan when it comes to addressing weight management. In this discussion, they explore the complex risk factors behind obesity, how it impacts AFib care, and where emerging therapies like GLP-1 receptor agonists may fit into the conversation.

In this episode of Advancing Allieds, #HRStv host Deepthy Varghese is joined by Lauren Sell, MSN, APRN, CPNP, and Margo Walton, MSN, AGPCNP-BC, CHFN, to break down Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). They review diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology, and common symptoms, with a focused discussion on tilt table testing—its role and limitations. The episode also highlights POTS subtypes, treatment strategies (both non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic), and key differential diagnoses, including Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia. A practical, clinically focused conversation designed to support allied professionals in improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care.

In Episode 3 of Unlocking Antiarrhythmics From ABCs to Action, #HRStv host Deepthy Varghese, DNP, ACNP, FNP is joined by Megan Labreck, PharmD, Jose L. Merino, MD, PhD, and Rachel Schreier, MSN, ACNP, APRN, to explore the cutting-edge intersection of wearable technology and antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) in managing heart rhythm conditions from home. Discover how next-generation wearables are making continuous arrhythmia monitoring possible — delivering real-time data that helps guide treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes. We break down how these devices work alongside AAD therapy, highlight the latest innovations in remote cardiac monitoring, and share practical insights on integrating technology into everyday care.
