Welcome

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS) we would like to invite you to the 3rd LAHRS Scientific Sessions that will be held on November, 2020, virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this opportunity, LAHRS has organized a virtual meeting to be delivered through the very robust online platform “E-Congress”. The attendants will find recorded presentations, satellite symposiums, poster area, sponsor area, technical suites and also live sessions recreating the atmosphere of our previous and successful in-person Scientific Sessions.

The academic program has been developed together with worldwide recognized international experts including members of our sister societies: Heart Rhythm society (HRS), European Heart Rhythm association (EHRA), and Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), as well as the Latin American EP societies including SOMEEC, SADEC, SOBRAC, and the Colombian EP College in a very innovative format that will include recorded sessions in the most relevant topics on electrophysiology that could be visited at any time during two weeks (November 9th to 23rd) by attendants at their convenience. The attendants will have the opportunity of chatting questions that will be answered off-line by the experts involved in the academic program. The recorded sessions will be complemented by “HOW TO” live sessions in the format of webinars that will take place on Saturdays 14 and 21 in which edited real cases with different techniques and technologies will be presented by EP experts to be discussed with panelists who also will comment questions chatted by the audience.

With this new format we aim to offer a very comprehensive academic program that will include topics such as: AF detection and Stroke Prevention, Cardiovascular Risk Factors for AF, New Approaches and Technologies to Improve the Results of AF Ablation, Syncope and Sudden Cardiac Death, New Approaches and Technologies for Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias, Pediatric EP, CRT, Transvenous Lead Extraction Techniques, Physiologic Pacing, and Cardioneuroablation, among others. Also, un update of the main clinical trials in our field and guidelines will be presented in recorded Joint Sessions with the participant EP Societies.

Additionally, attendants will have the opportunity to know about latest technology on the sponsor area and to interact with representatives from the industry in the Technical Suites. Side by side, our Virtual Sessions will offer a great learning experience to all our virtual attendees and participants that will contribute to accomplish the mission of LAHRS: improving the level of care for our patients suffering from arrhythmias.

We look forward to seeing you all on-line!
