LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOTRONIK will be exhibiting and initiating discussion about the importance of extending care beyond the implant at the Heart Rhythm Society's 37th Annual Scientific Sessions, May 4-7 in San Francisco.
"Physicians and hospitals are tasked with continually delivering the highest quality of patient care and satisfaction possible. Part of that process means ensuring patients are cared for each and every tomorrow," said Marlou Janssen, President, BIOTRONIK, Inc. "Patient care must evolve to be more holistically focused on ensuring patients are able to live healthy, fulfilling lives with confidence. That requires all of us to think beyond a device or procedure and realize the potential impact on the years ahead for each patient. That is what it means to Care Beyond."
Attendees are invited to engage in the #CareBeyond discussion by participating in the following events:
BIOTRONIK's Care Beyond discussion during Heart Rhythm 2016 follows the recent FDA approval of its BioMonitor 2 cardiac monitor, approved for MRI scanning at 1.5T and 3.0T strength.
