13èmes Journées de Travail du Groupe de Rythmologie et de Stimulation Cardiaque The Fibrillating Heart MONDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 - Modigliani room The Ninth Annual International Symposium on Catheter Ablation Techniques will be held in Paris, 24-26 September 2012. Over the last 16 years, the field of Electrophysiology and Catheter Ablation has rapidly evolved, experiencing profound changes in indications, techniques and technologies. Iscat aims to give an overview of the field of catheter ablation providing access to the best scientific knowledge. The first half day, Monday morning, will be devoted to “classical” electrophysiology and catheter ablation. At the request of many participants in previous editions, we will use these sessions to explore both the basics and current trends of this field. Monday afternoon, Tuesday and Wednesday will be fully dedicated to the International Symposium on ”The Fibrillating Heart“ with internationally renowned leaders in the field. All technical and clinical aspects of current methods for ablation of atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias will be discussed. Importantly, the very popular sessions dedicated to the laboratory technicians will be reinforced. Finally, we will increase the time devoted to electrophysiologists in training with the help of the Reunion of European countries for the Treatment of Arrhythmias in Cardiology (RETAC) in highly practical sessions. As for the previous editions, the Rythmology and Stimulation Group of the French Society of Cardiology and EHRA will contribute significantly to our programme. We do hope that you have enjoyed the previous editions and we will be very happy to welcome you again or perhaps for the first time in Paris in the Fall of 2012. Pr. E. ALIOT Pr. M. HAÏSSAGUERRE Pr.
