HRX NeXt Podcast

In this episode, Dr. Tina Baykaner, Dr. Peter Noseworthy, and Dr. Lior Jankelson explore how AI is helping clinicians manage growing volumes of clinical data and extract meaningful insights from ECGs and electronic health records. The conversation highlights emerging tools like AI-driven dashboards and decision support systems that can surface the right information at the right time. The panel als...

In this episode, Dr. Michael Rosenberg and Dr. Neal Bhatia explore how burnout is hitting cardiology hard — electrophysiologists included. In this episode, we explore what artificial intelligence will actually look like in the next 5–10 years and tackle the big questions: is AI replacing physicians or redefining their role, and will AI help alleviate burnout? From generative AI to workflow automat...

In this episode, Dr. Peter Noseworthy, Dr. Christopher C. Cheung, and Dr. G. Stuart Mendenhall explore how wearable medical devices, health apps, and other digital health tools are transforming care while also creating a growing challenge of data overload for clinicians and health systems. The conversation will focus on how unprecedented volumes of patient-generated data raise concerns around accu...

In this episode, Dr. Krishna Pundi and Dr. Michael Rosenberg discuss a timely paper focused on how clinicians can practically engage with artificial intelligence while managing busy clinical schedules. They explore why developing a working understanding of AI is becoming increasingly important, how to evaluate clinical and consumer AI tools with confidence, and ways clinicians can stay ahead of ra...

What exactly is artificial intelligence — and why should clinicians care? In this episode, Dr. Neal Bhatia joins Dr. Collin M. Stultz to discuss the Heart Rhythm article "What is AI and why should I care?" and break down the fundamentals of AI in a clear, practical way. They explore what AI really means in the context of cardiovascular care, how it's already being applied in medicine, and what cli...

Description Artificial intelligence continues to reshape the health care landscape — and cardiac electrophysiology is no exception. In this episode, we explore the rapid growth of AI across health care and take a closer look at how these technologies are being integrated into cardiac EP, with a particular focus on real-world, day-to-day clinical operations. From workflow efficiencies to decision s...

AI has the potential to transform healthcare through tools that streamline tasks, support diagnosis, and guide clinical decisions, but bias in these models poses risks of patient harm. This article highlights the issue of bias, its clinical consequences, and introduces a simple framework to mitigate it. Join moderator Krishna Pundi and guests Mike Rosenberg, Peter Noseworthy, and Demilade Adedinse...

Artificial intelligence is seen as a promising tool for improving clinical, operational, and financial aspects of healthcare, though its impact remains largely theoretical for now. This article reviews current progress, outlines strategies for success, and emphasizes balancing innovation with responsibility to ensure benefits for both patients and clinicians.   Article Authors Thomas F. Deering, M...

Description In 2024, HRS formed a Task Force to address concerns about limited MRI access for patients with CIEDs, reviewing data and surveying members on the issue. Based on its findings, the group developed this Scientific Statement to provide recommendations and guidance on improving access. Learning Objective Describe the purpose and outcomes of the 2024 HRS Task Force on MRI access for patien...
