Overview
The UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has assessed the clinical and economic effectiveness of Implantable Cardiac Monitors (ICMs) in cryptogenic stroke patients and has published a Diagnostic Guidance on Implantable Cardiac Monitors on August 7, 2020. A rigorous clinical and economic analysis shows Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor as the only ICM to have sufficient evidence to be recommended for patients following a cryptogenic stroke after external monitoring has been done and a cardiac arrhythmic cause of stroke is suspected. This live webinar will discuss implications for international healthcare systems and healthcare providers based on the NICE recommendations.
Key opinion leaders in the field of stroke care will share their perspective on the new Diagnostic Guidance and explain how these recommendations should guide use of ICMs in the treatment of stroke patients.
Please join us to learn more about Reveal LINQ ICM and its benefit for reducing secondary stroke.
