What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (37.6%), food and beverage and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 59.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $16,641 and has fallen 95.8% since, to $695 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $27,892.
Across 233 payments — averaging $119.41 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
