2008 Wrap-up
|

Dear colleagues,
I would like to extend this personal invitation to our 7th
International Winter Arrhythmia School. Once again, this year’s program
will be based on device and electrophysiological streams, which will
be incorporated together for sessions of common interest. Our flagship
of blended sponsorships and sessions opened for all will remain in place.
The combined sessions will be focused on innovations in device therapies
and ablation approaches, as well as in antiarrhythmic pharmacology which
is becoming diversified in recent years. The role of robotics in electrophysiology will be the spotlight of this year’s sessions
lead by world experts in the field.
Our focus in the Electrophysiology stream will be based on challenging
cases of supraventricular arrhythmia ablations, ablation of persistent
atrial fibrillation, and on peri-procedural care in Interventional Cardiac
Electrophysiology. We deploy world class faculty to engage discussions
and expect, as always, fierce educational argument.
In the device stream, our focus will be on handling challenging tachy-
and brady-programming in small classes and peer-to-peer teaching sessions.
These sessions will be headed by physicians and manufacturer’s experts.
This eventful program will be taking place at the Westin Trillium House in Collingwood, Ontario.
The event is officially bilingual for the third year in a row, with
instant translations from English to French and plenty of accents.
Last year we had more than 175 people participating in the event. Due to limited space last year, I strongly encourage you to register early.
Sincerely,
Eugene Crystal, MD
Chairman of the Symposium
Director, Arrhythmia Services
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
Overview
Learning Objectives- Arrhythmia issues in general cardiology practice
- Improvement in understanding of implantable arrhythmia devices
- Individualized programming of ICDs and CRTs
- Review and update of curative ablative electrophysiology
The 6th International Winter Arrhythmia School was co-sponsored by the
Heart Rhythm Society.
Similar co-sponsorship is being sought for the 7th Winter Arrhythmia School.
The 6th International Winter Arrhythmia School event was an Accredited
Group Learning Activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of
the Certification program of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons
of Canada. It was approved by the University of Toronto.
The Continuing Education Office, Faculty of Medicine, University of
Toronto designated the 6th International Winter Arrhythmia School an
education activity for a maximum of 17.5 Category 1 Credits towards
the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. As a result of a reciprocal agreement
between the EACCME and the AMA, European registrants claimed AMA Category
1 as equivalent.
Similar accreditation is being sought for the 7th Winter Arrhythmia School.
