Overview
The California Heart Rhythm Symposium aims to bring together leaders in the field of cardiac arrhythmia management and provide a forum for presentation and discussion of the latest practices and advances in this medical subspecialty. The meeting will highlight standard methods for the evaluation and treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders, including syncope, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac arrest as well as new advances in their treatment. The conference will target clinical researchers in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, clinical cardiologists, electrophysiologists (both academic and private), and nurses, technicians, and allied industry professionals working in the EP clinic and/or EP laboratory. Please join us for an exciting and educational networking event at the beautiful Fairmont Mission Inn in Sonoma, California.
