Remote Management of Acute Arrhythmias: Leicester Atrial Fibrillation Virtual Ward

The e-learning focuses on managing fast atrial fibrillation (AF) through a remote monitoring system, using the innovative concept of a virtual ward. The session begins with Prof. Ng discussing the growing epidemic of atrial fibrillation and its associated healthcare costs. Prof. Ng explains the treatment of fast AF and how remote monitoring technology, applied via a virtual ward, could improve patient outcomes. The process flow, technology involved, patient responses, and future prospects for this approach are also highlighted during the session.

Meet the expert:

Prof. André Ng: A Consultant Cardiologist at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust and Professor of Cardiac Electrophysiology at the University of Leicester. He specializes in treating cardiac arrhythmias with techniques like catheter ablation and robotic systems. His research includes developing the LifeMap system for sudden cardiac death risk prediction. In 2024, he became President of the British Cardiovascular Society.
