5th International Conference on Heart and Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiac electrophysiology is undergoing a technological renaissance, with pulsed-field ablation (PFA) representing the most significant advance in catheter ablation in two decades offering highly selective cardiomyocyte ablation with markedly reduced risks to adjacent oesophagus, phrenic nerve, and pulmonary veins. The Electrophysiology & Cardiac Arrhythmia Management session examines PFA vs. cryoablation vs. radiofrequency outcomes, catheter ablation in heart failure (CASTLE-AF legacy), conduction system pacing including His bundle and left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), leadless pacemakers, extravascular ICDs, ventricular tachycardia substrate ablation, wearable arrhythmia detection, and genetic arrhythmia syndromes including Brugada and long QT.

Key Discussion Areas

• Pulsed-field ablation (PFA): mechanisms, outcomes, and clinical adoption
• Catheter ablation in heart failure: CASTLE-AF and beyond
• Conduction system pacing: His bundle and left bundle branch area pacing
• Leadless pacemakers and extravascular ICD systems
• Left atrial appendage occlusion vs. anticoagulation in non-valvular AF
• Ventricular tachycardia ablation: substrate mapping and epicardial approaches
• Wearable cardiac monitors and implantable loop recorders in arrhythmia detection
• Genetic arrhythmia syndromes: Brugada, LQTS, CPVT - diagnosis and management

EP Scientific Focus Areas

• Atrial Fibrillation & Ablation
• Ventricular Arrhythmias & Sudden Cardiac Death
• Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (Pacemakers, ICDs)
• Conduction System Pacing
• Digital Arrhythmia Monitoring & Wearables
• Pediatric & Congenital Arrhythmias

Why Attend This Session?

Electrophysiologists, general cardiologists, device specialists, and heart failure physicians will gain essential updates on the latest ablation technologies, device therapy advancements, and evidence-based rhythm management strategies, with practical decision frameworks for complex arrhythmia patients.
