The annual London Arrhythmia Summit returns this year as an in-person event, bringing together cardiology experts from organisations across the world to discuss the latest advances in cardiology and electrophysiology, including important new studies, changes to guidelines, and innovation in arrhythmia management and treatment.
Now in its fourth year, the summit was launched in 2018 by Royal Brompton and Harefield arrhythmia specialists Dr Shouvik Haldar, Dr Wajid Hussain, Dr Vias Markides and Dr Tom Wong, who sought to provide more high-quality learning opportunities for clinicians in the UK. At the time, the Heart Rhythm Congress was the only notable conference in the UK to stage discussion and debate about arrhythmias.
Dr Haldar said: “After two years of holding our annual arrhythmia summit completely virtually, I am thrilled that this year we’ll have the opportunity to unite some of the brightest minds in the arrhythmia field in one room.
“Our objective for the summit has always been to share the latest in arrythmia and pacing education and best practice in order to offer better care and treatment for our patients. And while we can’t dismiss the simplicity and ease which virtual events afford, they are much less conducive to human connection, rousing debate, and engagement – elements which fuel the success of an event like ours.”
The summit – which takes place on 1 April – is open to anyone with an interest in heart rhythm, including cardiologists, electrophysiologists, nurses, trainees or those considering specialising in cardiology, and allied health professionals.
The London Arrhythmia Summit is organised in partnership with the Arrhythmia Alliance. For the full event programme, and to book a place (free for Royal Brompton and Harefield and Guy’s and St Thomas’ staff), visit the Arrhythmia Alliance website.
