CONGRESS SCIENTIFIC
PROGRAM
AF Summit
This summit will focus on the scientific and clinical
roles of PVs and their relation to atrial fibrillation and
AF ablation strategies that do not involve PVs. New
technologies for AF ablation and stroke prevention in
atrial fibrillation will be also highlighted.
Sessions: PV Based Ablation Strategies for AF; Non
PV Based Strategies for AF Ablation; New and Old
Technologies for AF Ablation; Stroke Prevention in AF
VT/VF Summit
This summit will explore various approaches to the
treatment of patients with VT/VF. New technologies
for treatment of patients with VT/ VF will be also
covered.
Sessions: Management of VT/VF Treatment; New
Technologies for Treatment of Patients with VT
Hands-On Workshops
We offer a range of hands-on workshops with full
training to be supported by simulators and Wet Labs,
with testing carried out on a porcine heart model.
Lead & Device Management summit
The summit will discuss the needs for CRT/ICD testing,
as well as the management of inappropriate shocks
and infected CIED systems. Focus will be placed
on all aspects of lead extraction, choice of the best
technique for each patient, avoidance and treatment
of lead extraction complications and the results to be
achieved. The session will give an update on S-ICD
treatment and leadless pacing, present the alternative
approaches for LV lead placement and discuss LV lead
position optimization.
Sessions: CRT/ ICD Management; Device Management;
Lead Extraction; Hot Topics in CIED Treatment
Arrhythmias in pediatric population
Summit Description: This summit will discuss
management of cardiac arrhythmias in children.
The attention of this summit will be devoted to
antiarrhythmic drug therapy, radiofrequency catheter
ablation and cardiac devices (pacemakers and
implantable cardiac defibrillators) to be used for
pediatric population.
Sessions: Catheter ablation in pediatric population;
Pharmacological treatment in pediatric population;
Cardiac devices in pediatric population
Guidelines Summit
This summit will review all recent guidelines,
consensus statements regarding AF, VT/ VF, cardiac
devices (CRT/ICD, pacemakers) and arrhythmias (RSSA,
EHRA, HRS).
Sessions: Atrial Fibrillation; VT/ VF; CRT/ ICD;
Pacemakers; Arrhythmias in pediatric population
(EHRA/ AEPC Consensus Statement)
Case video presentations
Live Case Video Presentation of A-Fib procedures from
around the world.
Late breaking clinical trials
Late Breaking Clinical Trials sessions provide the latest
breakthroughs in clinical science and potentially will
have a significant impact on clinical practice. Clinical
Science Report sessions will highlight trial updates,
registries and important clinical science.
Battle of Titans
Two new “Titan against Titan” debate sessions will
feature the world-renowned experts sharing their very
different views on various challenging issues. Don’t
miss the battles of a lifetime!
Free discussions (lunch session)
Session Description: During this session you can meet
and share your ideas with the leaders from cardiology
societies on a wide range of hot clinical topics.
Principles and practice of clinical research –
5 steps from idea to publication
This education activity encompasses the basics of
clinical research: formulation of a subject of research;
selection of study population, randomization, blinding
and statistical methods; data collection, monitoring
and reporting; study designs (observational studies,
non-inferior and adaptive designs and randomized
clinical trials).
Sessions: Idea; Planning of Clinical Research. Design
of Study; Statistics; Ethical, Legal, and Regulatory
Considerations; Manuscript Submission
Health Care
This session will highlight the risk factors for
arrhythmias and discuss prevention and care
management.
Discussion on funding: Government grants
(Ministry of Health Care, Ministry of Science and
Education, Russian Academy of Sciences, Medicine of
the Future)

Transportation
Many airlines serve the Novosibirsk airport
www.tolmachevo.ru
Novosibirsk International Airport is one of the most
dynamically developing airports, the largest transit
hub beyond the Ural Mountains on the major routes
connecting Europe and Asia. The geographical
position of Novosibirsk International Airport allows
it to serve prospective cross-polar routes connecting
North America and Asia.
ABOUT NOVOSIBIRSK
We suggest that you take a closer look at the capital of Siberia and see the
most interesting sights first-hand. There’ll be some tours around Novosibirsk
organized for the Congress attendees. Though in its infanthood, Novosibirsk
has about 150 monuments of architecture, history, monumental sculpture and
archeology, which are supported by the government. Novosibirsk is Russia’s
third largest rare books storage; it also has more than 10 various museums.
However, most of all Novosibirsk is known for its people who flash a friendly
smile at every guest coming over to the city.
WELCOME TO NOVOSIBIRSK!
