Procedural EHRA Training

on Interventional Electrophysiology and Examination Preparatory Course

Thursday 21 - Saturday 23 February 2019 (3 Days), Marrakech - Morocco

Course Objectives
The EHRA Interventional Electrophysiology and Examination Preparatory Course reviews
some of the difficult concepts on interventional EP; tests the knowledge and improves the skills
of those planning to sit for the EHRA certification exam. During the course, review lectures will
alternate between interactive sessions on tracing discussion presented with multiple choice
questions (MCQ) following EHRA certification exam format and style. An interactive voting
system will allow attendees to check their present knowledge and evolution with the rest of the
audience.
Attendees will:

• Increase their knowledge of EHRA Certification Exam content and structure.

• Deal with MCQs that will eventually improve their performance in the exam.

The EHRA Certification Exam Preparatory Course is not a comprehensive education programme
on EP and Implantable Cardiac rhythm Devices. Attendees are expected to have already the
fundamentals of most of the theoretical knowledge covered by the course.

Target Audience
EP fellows in training with experience in diagnostic EP and “standard” ablations.
 Welcome to International Symposium on Left Atrial Appendage 2019

The International Symposium on Left Atrial Appendage (ISLAA) will be held March 8-9, 2019 in
Kansas City, Missouri. This Symposium is being co-sponsored by the Kansas City Heart Rhythm
Institute, Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute, Cedar Sinai Hospital and the Mayo Clinic.

This symposium is a multi-specialty Cardiovascular educational symposium in North America on

the frontier science of left atrial appendage. This topic is of tremendous interest in the practice
of cardiovascular care. Over a period of two days, the symposium will offer very informative
presentations on the anatomy, physiology and pathological aspects of the left atrial appendage
along with old and new therapeutic strategies of stroke prophylaxis including cardiac devices for
LAA exclusion. The worldwide presenters are the leaders in the field with a great depth of
practical expertise in the science.
 EHRA 2019
Sunday 17 - Tuesday 19 March 2019 in Lisbon – Portugal

EHRA Congress (formerly Europace) is the annual congress of the European Heart Rhythm
Association - EHRA. EHRA 2019 is the leading European EP conference and will tackle
"Implementing diagnostic and therapeutic innovations in daily practice"
Dynamic scientific content including contribution and analysis on the recent ESC Guidelines on
cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, syncope, ventricular tachycardia and sudden
cardiac death.
Presentation of world-class research and latest trials from the field!

Past congress figures:

• 3 915 participants from 82 countries

• 350 faculty from 50 countries
• 154 scientific programme sessions
• 1 150 abstracts & clinical cases submitted
• +1 600sqm exhibition, 50 exhibiting companies

40th Annual Heart Rhythm Scientific Sessions

Heart Rhythm 2019 will be held May 8-11, 2019 in San Francisco, CA and will convene the finest
clinicians, scientists, researchers, and innovators in the field of cardiac pacing and
electrophysiology. More than 800 of the world’s most noted experts in cardiac rhythm
management will serve as faculty for more than 200 educational sessions covering topic areas
such as pacing, defibrillation, clinical arrhythmia management, ablation, pharmacology, genetics,
basic science, health policy, and more.
 Procedural EHRA training course on Advanced EP with focus on AF ablation
Thursday 23 - Saturday 25 May 2019 (3 Days), Madrid – Spain

Course objectives
Presentation of advanced ablation techniques and technologies. Special focus on AF, imaging
techniques, non-invasive and invasive AF-mapping – multipoint mapping, single shot ablation and
point-by-point RF, macroreentrant tachycardias, cases and complications.
The course also tries to achieve a close interaction with expert teachers, in a relaxed
environment, that allows personal discussions during and between sessions.

Target audience
Physicians who already have experience in invasive electrophysiology and catheter ablation.
Established electrophysiologists may experience a thorough review of state of the art in EP and
advanced catheter ablation.

 Procedural EHRA training course on Cardiac Pacing, ICD and Cardiac
Resynchronisation course (CP)
Thursday 31 October - Saturday 02 November 2019 (3 Days), Vienna – Austria

Course Objectives
The course will provide comprehensive coverage of scientific knowledge related to the up-to-
date clinical use of devices. It includes interactive sessions focused on the application of
guidelines in daily practice, review of relevant clinical trials, in-depth discussion of clinical cases
as well as device troubleshooting exercises.
Participants should have some experience with device follow-up to attend this course.
This course will serve as a structured basis for the preparation of EHRA certification exam during
the EHRA 2020 Congress.

Target Audience
For physicians and fellows who deal with Cardiac Pacing, ICD and Cardiac Arrhythmias and who
wish to acquire more knowledge in Cardiac Pacing, ICD and Cardiac Resynchronisation.
