When the patients of Michael Boler, M.D. need cardiac monitoring, the Holter monitor is no longer his first choice. âThe newer ECG devices we have now are so much less cumbersome. Itâs like wearing a Band-Aid versus carrying a bulky device,â said the Greenwood, Mississippi internist. âMy patients prefer the more comfortable, wire-free form factor, and the quality is as good as, or better, than the Holter,â continued Boler. âPlus, my patient compliance has increased. With the Holter, the leads sometimes come off. The patient may think the device isnât working, so they take it off and we have to restart the process.â

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading medical cause of death in young athletes and its impact is consistent worldwide. Most professional athletes in the United States are required to take part in comprehensive cardiovascular screening programs to identify often-asymptomatic congenital or inherited heart disorders, and other cardiac risk factors. There remains a debate however, whether to mandate ECGs as part of pre-participation screening programs for student athletes at the collegiate and high school levels or even at younger ages.
![Tufts Medical Center created a heart failure team approach to care for its patients. The program includes an interventional heart failure fellowship program, where interventional cardiologists learn more advanced care, as show here with an ECMO procedure being performed in a cath lab at Tufts. The interventional cardiologists learn how to better care for heart failure patients and interface with surgeons, intensivists and others on the HF care team. The operator is Nevin Kapur.
