In electrophysiology, innovation is king, but it is often incremental, and it almost always lacks rationale, comprehensive clinical documentation and relevance for hospitals that try to balance the increasing costs of new technology with increasing demand and reimbursement that just can’t keep pace. So, again, innovation is great.

1 A growing patient population, increase in electrophysiology procedures, and rapid innovation in the field have led to elevated government scrutiny on cost, resulting in drastic cuts for reimbursement for common AF procedures. Reductions in reimbursement are making it difficult to retain and attract heart rhythm specialists.

Inevitably, given its fledgling status, regulation and reimbursement is still playing catch-up, though 2023 saw some important developments in this regard. Figure 2: VC funding for AI in Medical Imaging vs. ECG The Missing Piece In a similar vein, the reimbursement framework for AI-in ECG is very much in its infancy.

Renal Denervation aims to disrupt this process by selectively ablating or disabling the sympathetic nerves in the renal arteries. The Symplicity Spyral system utilizes a catheter featuring an electrode pattern arranged in a helical configuration, enabling simultaneous or individual ablation in all four quadrants.
