We have the great pleasure to release the last update of the RHYTHM 2005 congress.
Thanks to the efforts and involvement of all experts who agreed to participate, we have built a very exciting program for continuing medical education in catheter-based techniques for heart failure therapy.

This course will begin with basic education during the "Tribute to Philippe Coumel", and be followed by key information on drug therapy. Then 4 sessions will present in depth data on cardiac resynchronization, automatic defibrillators, and ablative techniques for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Furthermore, 2 live case sessions on Saturday will illustrate the techniques presented and will serve as clinical examples for discussions.

We invite every physician who has an interest in heart failure therapy to join us and our international Faculty on Friday June 10th and Saturday June 11th, at the Majestic-Barrière Hotel in Cannes. Catheter-based techniques will soon be part of the daily practice. Do not stay behind, and become an actor of what will be tomorrow's standard therapies.

The RHYTHM Congress aims at providing continuing medical education in heart failure caused by arrhythmias, and catheter-based treatment.

At the end of the course, attendees should :

	Have received an updated scientific knowledge in cardiac arrhythmias, electrophysiology, and technical information on cardiac rhythm management
	Have received the latest information on scientific trials and studies on drug therapies, cardiac resynchronisation, automatic defibrillators, and ablative techniques
	Be able to determine the most appropriate therapeutics for each patient, depending on pathologies, clinical history, and latest developments
	Have observed how cath-lab should be equipped, and how interventional procedures run
