22nd April 2018 – 24th April 2018
Venue:
Congress center, Institute for Molecular genetics of the ASCR (www.img.cas.cz)
Videnska 1083,142 00 Prague 4, Czech Republic
Main Focus:
Strategies to limit radiation burden during EP procedures
Symposium on techniques of neuromodulation for neurocardiogenic syncope and management of arrhythmias
Novel technologies and strategies for mapping and ablation of complex arrhythmias – review lectures and live cases.
Target Audience:
Physicians and associated professionals with an interest in catheter ablation of complex cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias, and neuromodulation
Program Objectives
- Discuss on adverse effects of radiation, about techniques dedicated to minimization of fluoroscopy during electrophysiology procedures
- Debate options for interventional neuromodulation for neurocardiogenic syncope and/or ventricular arrhythmias
- Provide a review of different strategies of mapping and catheter ablation of complex cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias
- Demonstrate such strategies in live
