The Training Course Advanced Electrophysiology (EP) with focus on Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) ablation will take place in 2023 on an in-person format from 16 to 18 November 2023 in Athens, Greece.
Objectives
This course will be a practical and interactive approach to ablation of patients with ventricular arrhythmias from straight forward cases to complex scenarios using advanced technology. Simultaneous live demonstrations on anatomical specimens will be performed to understand complex anatomical features important for clinical success and current limitations. Keynote lectures will provide the latest insights and technical developments for mapping and ablation of ventricular arrhythmias.
Registration Fees VAT included
The registration fee includes:
Accommodation
Negotiated rates for the duration of the Course are available in the Novotel Athènes Hotel.
We will contact the registered participants with detailed information if they wish to make their booking at the Hotel by beginning of September and mid October.
