Course Description

Controversies in Cardiac Arrhythmias (CiCA) 2024 is designed to provide clinicians with a review of selected topics in the 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, case management studies, and panel discussions.

CiCA 2024 will focus on the advances and changes in the study of cardiac arrythmias while maintaining a long-standing commitment to therapeutic innovation, evidence-based medicine and dedication to putting patients first. With the significant incidence and prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias in the United States, it is essential for healthcare professionals to stay abreast of the latest developments in this area of study.

According to the American Heart Association, cardiac arrhythmias have a substantial prevalence, with an estimated 14.4 million patients in the United States. More than 750,000 hospitalizations occur each year because of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The condition contributes to an estimated 130,000 deaths each year. The rate of AFib as the primary or a contributing cause of death has been rising for more than two decades. AFib costs the United States about $6 billion each year. Medical costs for people who have AFib are about $8,705 higher per year than for people who do not have AFib.

Target Audience

This conference is intended for cardiologists, internists, primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and other health care professionals with a special interest in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of patients with cardiac arrhythmias.
