Date & Location
Friday, October 15, 2021, 7:30 AM - Saturday, October 16, 2021, 10:30 PM EST, Virtual

Course Overview

This is the 16th year for the International Symposium on Ventricular Arrhythmias: Pathophysiology and Therapy. Using a combination of didactic presentations, panel discussions, and question and answer sessions, our goal is to educate the participants in state of the art information the pathophysiology and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. There will also be VT ablation cases streamed live from the University of Pennsylvania and The Mount Sinai Hospital during which a moderated panel discussion and question and answer session will occur to educate and demonstrate to the audience members the most up to date techniques for complex ablation procedures.


Target Audience
Specialties - INTERNAL MEDICINE - Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology, INTERNAL MEDICINE - Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this symposium, participants should be able to:

  1. Discuss strategies to improve treatment outcome in patients with ventricular arrhythmias and structural heart disease including new techniques and technologies
  2. Discuss the current status and future role for device therapy in the management of sudden cardiac death and heart failure
  3. Discuss the role of imaging in VT ablation including functional scar imaging, MRS, and high-density mapping
  4. Describe risk stratification for sudden death and treatment including VF ablation in patients with VF due to various substrates and syndromes
  5. Identify the challenges related to treatment of PVCs and idiopathic VT
  6. Describe the science critical to the understanding and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias including: The role of the autonomic nervous system in ventricular arrhythmogenesis
  7. Describe the science critical to the understanding and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias including: Anatomic substrate for ventricular tachycardia (VT)
  8. Describe the status of ongoing multicenter VT related trials
  9. Discuss future directions and questions to be answered

Registration
VIRTUAL/LIVE PRESENTATION
The 16th International Symposium on Ventricular Arrhythmias: Pathophysiology & Therapy will be held Friday & Saturday, October 15-16, 2021 by live-stream (virtual) attendance only.
