In this episode, Dr. Michael Rosenberg and Dr. Neal Bhatia explore how burnout is hitting cardiology hard — electrophysiologists included. In this episode, we explore what artificial intelligence will actually look like in the next 5–10 years and tackle the big questions: is AI replacing physicians or redefining their role, and will AI help alleviate burnout?

From generative AI to workflow automation, our experts break down how thoughtfully implemented technology can reduce cognitive load, ease administrative burden, and help EPs focus on what matters most — delivering better patient care while reclaiming professional fulfillment.

In this episode, Dr. Peter Noseworthy, Dr. Christopher C. Cheung, and Dr. G. Stuart Mendenhall explore how wearable medical devices, health apps, and other digital health tools are transforming care while also creating a growing challenge of data overload for clinicians and health systems.

The conversation will focus on how unprecedented volumes of patient-generated data raise concerns around accuracy, validation, and equity, and how poorly managed data streams can contribute to alert fatigue and inefficiency rather than better care. Panelists will discuss the need for robust standards to vet consumer-grade devices, as well as strategies for aggregating and prioritizing data from disparate sources using interoperability frameworks and AI-enabled triage.

The episode will also examine why human oversight remains essential in managing data overload, particularly for interpreting edge cases and aligning insights with patient preferences. Ultimately, the discussion will highlight practical approaches for turning overwhelming amounts of digital health data into actionable, clinically meaningful information that improves outcomes.

What exactly is artificial intelligence — and why should clinicians care? In this episode, Dr. Neal Bhatia joins Dr. Collin M. Stultz to discuss the Heart Rhythm article "What is AI and why should I care?" and break down the fundamentals of AI in a clear, practical way. They explore what AI really means in the context of cardiovascular care, how it's already being applied in medicine, and what clinicians should understand as these tools become more integrated into everyday practice. A concise, accessible conversation on why AI matters now — and what's ahead.

Description

Artificial intelligence continues to reshape the health care landscape — and cardiac electrophysiology is no exception. In this episode, we explore the rapid growth of AI across health care and take a closer look at how these technologies are being integrated into cardiac EP, with a particular focus on real-world, day-to-day clinical operations. From workflow efficiencies to decision support and patient care, our discussion examines where AI is already making an impact, the challenges of adoption, and what the future may hold for clinicians and health systems alike.

AI has the potential to transform healthcare through tools that streamline tasks, support diagnosis, and guide clinical decisions, but bias in these models poses risks of patient harm. This article highlights the issue of bias, its clinical consequences, and introduces a simple framework to mitigate it.

Join moderator Krishna Pundi and guests Mike Rosenberg, Peter Noseworthy, and Demilade Adedinsewo for a lively discussion of this cutting-edge manuscript from heart Rhythm O2.

In this episode, Dr. Tina Baykaner, Dr. Peter Noseworthy, and Dr. Lior Jankelson explore how AI is helping clinicians manage growing volumes of clinical data and extract meaningful insights from ECGs and electronic health records. The conversation highlights emerging tools like AI-driven dashboards and decision support systems that can surface the right information at the right time.

The panel also discusses where AI is already influencing clinical practice — from rhythm detection to patient selection for procedures — while emphasizing that these tools are most powerful when they support, not replace, clinical judgment.
