Abstract

VeniceArrhythmias is one of the most prestigious international congresses in the field of arrhythmology. The secret of its success lies upon two fundamental components: the high level of the scientific program with a worldwide recognized faculty, and the magnificent  Congress venue, the Fondazione Giorgio Cini  in Venice across from San Marco Square. As in the past, all the aspects of cardiac arrhythmias will be dealt with during the three days of the meeting, from epidemiology and pathophysiology to diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. The main topics of the upcoming edition will be: zoom in on atrial fibrillation, anti-thrombotic treatment for cardiac arrhythmias, role of cardiac imaging in electrophysiology, syncope 2015 – challenging issues, sport and arrhythmias – old and new controversies, ventricular tachycardia – evaluation and therapy, focus on hereditary arrhythmogenic syndromes, sudden death and ICD therapy – indications and technological innovations, recent advances in heart failure and cardiac resynchronization therapy, progress in cardiac pacing, remote monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias/devices, lead extraction and device infection, new technologies and techniques in catheter ablation, surgical and electrophysiological interventions for cardiac arrhythmias.
