Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by grants: $28,094 of the $38,057 with a category attached, or 73.8%. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 57.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $19,974, 2.4 times the $8,498 reported in 2021. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in PA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 231 payments — averaging $164.75 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
