Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

RHYTHM 2015 was dedicated to Arrhythmias & Heart Failure. From New anticoagulants (NOAC), to ablation of atrial fibrillation and new devices. High level conferences and video cases accurately illustrated latest advances and tools now available.

Conferences on ventricular arrhythmias, ablation of classical arrhythmias and channelopathies were also organized.

You can now view the authorized presentations online and can download your certificate of attendance if you were present during the meeting. Click here

Rhythm 2015 photo gallery is already available here. View it now!

Once more, we were pleased to have you for fruitful teaching in the beautiful congress center of Palais du Pharo in Marseille.
