Scientific Documents

Published by the EHRA Scientific Document Committee in collaboration with main players in the field of Arrhythmias.

EHRA has published a number of scientific documents over the years. Some of these have been produced in collaboration with main players in the field of arrhythmias and systematically published in EP Europace Journal. Today EHRA continues to tackle new areas of interest in the field and produce scientific statement, recommendations and position papers.

Since 2008, EHRA has also produced Scientific Documents in collaboration with different organisations (HRS, ACC, AHA, ESC, HRS...), and is active in continuously launching new Task Forces that tackle new and challenging scientific topics.
