DISCOVER, TRANSLATE, PRACTISE, TRANSFORM... EHRA EUROPACE 2013 providing new horizons for the treament of patients with cardiac deseases and life-threatening or symptomatic arrhythmia.
Welcome from the President
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
In June 2013 the lovely city of Athens will host EHRA EUROPACE 2013, the seventeenth edition of the official Meeting of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA). EHRA EUROPACE is an established, international conference attracting key opinion leaders, well-recognised scientists, physicians, allied professionals and industry, who all enjoy scientific exchange of the highest level in an informal atmosphere. A record-breaking 5560 participants attended our last meeting. The steadily growing international attendance confirms the relevance of EHRA EUROPACE within the worldwide scientific community.
For the first time in its history, EHRA EUROPACE 2013 will be jointly conducted by EHRA and two very prominent Working Groups of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the WG on Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology and the WG on e-Cardiology. This unique partnership emphasises the multidisciplinary and translational approach in modern electrophysiology, in the diagnosis and therapy of arrhythmias and conduction disturbance.
A great deal of energy and enthusiasm has already gone into the preparation of what promises to be an outstanding scientific programme; we are committed to providing you with a richer experience at every event.
Last but not least Athens, a pearl of the Mediterranean Sea in the South of Europe, is the ideal venue for a congress with our profile and scope. I am sure that the city’s wealth of historical, cultural and social attractions will draw your attention and will fascinate you.
Join us and you will learn why EHRA EUROPACE is a leading international event in the electrophysiological community.
I am looking forward to meeting you in Athens in 2013,
Angelo Auricchio
EHRA President, 2011-2013
