Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are glad to announce the RHYTHM 2015 edition, two and a half days focusing on
Arrhythmias & Heart Failure.
For its 8th edition, the first day of the congress will present new anticoagulants and
ablation or atrial fibrillation. Also, many video cases will feature well known practitioners
presenting new devices. In the morning, a special French session will be dealing with
everyday practices.
The second day will be made of conferences by international experts on ventricular
arrhythmias, ablation of classical arrhythmias and channelopathies.
New this year, clinical cases and interactive voting will take place on Saturday over the
morning to allow discussion and to offer each physician a unique opportunity to get an
update on its everyday practice.
Symposia will also be scheduled every day to continue the discussion and present industry
results and news in the main room before lunch.
Again this year, a paramedical education programme will take place on Friday with
a French course dedicated to the update of theoretical knowledge and daily practices.
Once more, we look forward to having you during two and a half convivial days of
fruitful teaching in the beautiful congress center of the Palais du Pharo in Marseille.
