In Episode 3 of Unlocking Antiarrhythmics From ABCs to Action, #HRStv host Deepthy Varghese, DNP, ACNP, FNP is joined by Megan Labreck, PharmD, Jose L. Merino, MD, PhD, and Rachel Schreier, MSN, ACNP, APRN, to explore the cutting-edge intersection of wearable technology and antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) in managing heart rhythm conditions from home. Discover how next-generation wearables are making continuous arrhythmia monitoring possible — delivering real-time data that helps guide treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes. We break down how these devices work alongside AAD therapy, highlight the latest innovations in remote cardiac monitoring, and share practical insights on integrating technology into everyday care.
