Following the symposium, participants will be able to:
• Describe and discuss the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation (AF), ventricular tachycardia
(VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF)
• Critically analyze current and future therapies, including ablation for AF, VT and VF
• Discuss the value of new technologies in arrhythmia management
• How to set up advanced intervention lab and troubleshoot device implantations
and programming

Course directors
This symposium is designed for electrophysiologists, electrophysiology fellows-in
training, cardiologists and others interested in cardiac arrhythmias. It is our intent to
present the latest results of basic and clinical research and information about ablation,
imaging technologies and device therapies. The symposium will provide illustrated oral
presentations, pre-recorded “live” cases by national and international experts, as well as
discussion of latest guidelines. It is designed to help foment changes in practice relative to
arrhythmia management.
