According to the American Heart Association, cardiac arrhythmias have an estimated prevalence of 14.4 million patients in the United States, and they account for more than 40,000 deaths annually. New developments and advances in the management of cardiac arrhythmias, such as newer anticoagulants, atrial appendage closure devices and cardiac implantable electronic devices, afford benefits to patients who suffer from these conditions. Novel analytical approaches and important clinical trials challenge the practicing physician to implement translation of those discoveries into his clinical practice. The gaps that form between new knowledge and changing paradigms in the practice of medicine can only be filled with effective dissemination of the emerging information.
This one-day program is designed to provide clinicians with a review of selected topics in present-day management of patients with cardiac arrhythmias, emphasizing new advances in the field and incorporating current guidelines and evidence-based principles of practice. The format will incorporate didactic lectures as well as case management studies and panel discussions with experts in the field.

Innovative Echo Guided Treatment for Structural Heart Diseases is a one-day program designed to provide clinicians with a review of selected topics in present day management of patients with structural diseases, emphasizing new innovation in the field, role of echo in clinical practice and guidance for structural heart interventions, and incorporating current guidelines and evidence-based principles of practice. The course is a one day course which will address new developments and advances in the management of structural heart diseases, such as transcatheter aortic and mitral valve replacement , surgical and transcatheter aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve repair, closure of patent foramen ovale and ASD, and left atrial appendage occlusion afford benefits to patients who suffer from these conditions.
Attendees will have ample opportunity during the course for face-to-face time for discussion with exhibitors and we encourage industry to bring simulators or models to provide attendees with hands–on experience with the latest technology.
