Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (47.0%), travel and lodging and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 57.4% of the total. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in HI 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 164 payments — averaging $83.04 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
