Overview
Join Dr Luca Santini (Rome, IT) and Prof Klaus Witte (Leeds, UK) for an engaging educational webinar exploring the critical importance of sensitivity and specificity in Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICMs).
Discover how reducing false positives impacts sensitivity, why balancing these factors is essential, and what real-world data reveals about achieving clinical accuracy. The session will also highlight opportunities to streamline clinical workflows and minimise patient follow-ups.
Prof Witte will discuss the impact on stroke patients, supported by findings from his recent poster presented at EHRA 2025, while Dr Santini will present real-life case studies illustrating broader implications for various patient populations.
They will be joined by Alphons Vincent (Medtronic) and Grant Neitzell (architect of the Reveal LINQ system, Medtronic), who will provide expert insights into the design and application of this innovative ICM technology.
