PRAGUE RHYTHM 2024, April 21 - 23, 2024, CONGRESS WITH LIVE CASES AND DEMONSTRATIONS

Practical sessions

Practical sessions associated with 24th edition of Prague Workshop on Catheter Ablations with live demonstrations, newly PRAGUE-RHYTHM 2022

Saturday, April 23, 2022
Time: 13:00-18:00

Venue:

Congress centre, Institute for Molecular genetics of the ASCR (www.img.cas.cz) Videnska 1083,142 00 Prague 4, Czech Republic

Faculty:

Robert Čihák, Jana Hašková, Josef Kautzner, Petr Peichl, Predrag Stojadinovic, Peter Štiavnicky, Dan Wichterle

Main Focus:

Practical aspects (tips and tricks) of catheter ablation of various supraventricular arrhythmias and idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias, using case-based learning

Safety of catheter ablation

Target Audience:

Physicians and associated professionals who are looking to perfect their procedure workflows in catheter ablation of a broad spectrum of arrhythmias

Program Objectives

  • Provide a review of different strategies of catheter ablation in various supraventricular arrhythmias and idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias
  • Demonstrate such strategies using selected case-reports
  • Suggest safe strategies for transseptal and pericardial puncture
  • Discuss safety issues and how to be prepared to handle the crisis

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify techniques to improve ablation success for supraventricular arrhythmias and idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias, including use of advanced imaging
  • Learn safe strategies how to perform transseptal or pericardial puncture
  • Understand complications of catheter ablation and how to prevent or treat them
