EHRA Advanced EP Course – VT Ablation (November 2026)

This EHRA Level II course provides experienced electrophysiologists with focused training in the assessment and catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias. The programme combines expert lectures, interactive clinical cases, practical discussions, and anatomy-based demonstrations to address both standard procedures and particularly challenging VT substrates. Participants will explore contemporary mapping techniques, innovative technologies, anatomical considerations, procedural limitations, and advanced ablation approaches. The course also creates a valuable environment for sharing experience, developing practical expertise, and building professional connections with leading specialists and fellow electrophysiologists from across Europe.

New video in the library of EP recordings

We are pleased to add a new case to our EP recordings library. Emna Allouche has contributed an excellent and highly educational video entitled “Vascular Access for Device Implantation: Cephalic Vein Access.

In this recording, she provides a practical step-by-step overview of the cephalic vein approach for cardiac device implantation, highlighting key anatomical landmarks, technical considerations, and procedural tips that can help improve procedural success and reduce access-related complications. The video is particularly valuable for fellows and early-career EPs, but also serves as a useful refresher for experienced operators interested in optimising their implantation techniques.

Make sure to check our library regularly for new and educational cases!

EHRA Advanced EP Course: Focus on AF Ablation (October 2026)

The AF ablation course, which is part of EHRA educational level II, offers a unique opportunity for young electrophysiologists to deepen their knowledge of atrial fibrillation ablation and discuss current strategies with leading experts in the field. Through interactive case-based sessions, practical tips, and in-depth discussions on patient selection, mapping, energy sources, and management of challenging cases, participants will gain valuable insights that can be directly applied in daily clinical practice. Whether you are at the beginning of your EP training or looking to refine your AF ablation skills, this course provides an excellent platform for education, networking, and exchange with colleagues from across Europe. Join us from 08 to 10 October 2026 in Munich, Germany
