15^th World Heart Congress

Electrophysiology and Arrhythmias

Cardiac electrophysiology is a specialized field dedicated to understanding, diagnosing, and treating abnormalities of the heart's electrical system. Cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, and inherited rhythm disorders, remain major contributors to cardiovascular morbidity, stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Advances in electrophysiological mapping, catheter ablation, implantable cardiac devices, remote rhythm monitoring, and artificial intelligence have transformed the management of complex arrhythmias. Precision diagnostics, improved risk stratification, and personalized therapeutic approaches are enabling clinicians to deliver safer and more effective rhythm management while minimizing complications and improving long-term patient outcomes.

This session will explore the latest innovations in cardiac electrophysiology, including three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping, catheter ablation technologies, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), wearable monitoring devices, and digital rhythm management. Leading experts will discuss guideline-directed management, advances in atrial fibrillation treatment, inherited arrhythmia syndromes, sudden cardiac death prevention, and emerging technologies that enhance diagnostic precision and therapeutic success. The session encourages interdisciplinary collaboration among electrophysiologists, cardiologists, biomedical engineers, researchers, and healthcare professionals committed to advancing cardiac rhythm care
