Tune in to American Heart Association's podcast episode, 'Treating pacemakers and other implantable device infection: a shared decision', featuring Dr Miguel Leal, Associate Professor in Electrophysiology and Trudie Lobban MBE, Founder of Arrhythmia Alliance, AF Association and STARS.

This podcast episode explores the value of shared decision-making between patients and healthcare professionals to ensure patients receive optimum treatment. For patients who experience device infections months, or even years, later, it's essential to make patients aware of the signs & symptoms of an infection, which may not even be at the site of the wound.
