Cooperation between the ESC Practice Guidelines, ESC Education and ESC Congress Programme Committees, the Guidelines into Practice Tracks bring you the best of ESC Congress for the specific ESC Practice Guidelines. Particular emphasis is placed on the clinical implementation of the guidelines.

EHRA (European Heart Rhythm Association) has carefully selected presentations from ESC Congress 2012, based on the ESC Guidelines on Cardiac Pacing and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (2013). Sincere thanks to Michele Brignole from EHRA for her contribution to the development of this track.
