Overview
Kansas City Heart Rhythm Symposium
Registration is closed for this activity.
The purpose of this symposium is to update medical practitioners in the greater Midwest region on the future of cardiac electrophysiology (EP), and on new diagnosis and treatment guidelines in the care and management of patients with arrhythmias, heart failure and other issues impacting the electrical system of the body. Participants will learn about advances in ablation techniques, device management, appropriate use criteria, and survey new developments in guidelines and recommendations. A review of clinical trials that have helped change the clinical practice of EP will also be held. Participants in this symposium will examine the latest trends in Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) treatment options and gain a greater understanding of anticoagulation and stroke prophylaxis.
Full refunds will only be given prior to August 5, 2017. Registration cancellation refunds will not be made after August 5 at 11:59 PM Central Time, and cancellations after this time will have a $30 administrative processing fee applied to the card on file.
Please note, Kansas University pre registrants may encounter difficulties when registering since a firewall prevents registration. In this case, please utilize a personal home computer.
