The theme of the 5th edition of our yearly symposium will be
“AV node, AV ring and SVTs”
We will focus on embryology and anatomy of the AV node, AV ring (e.g. accessory pathways) and the cardiac conduction system. Furthermore, anatomic variations or anomalies in this area (e.g. Ebstein , AV node with transposition of the great arteries, AV node and AV ring in persistent left SVC, CS anomalies and diverticula) that may complicate EP procedures will be covered.
As always, emphasis will be on advanced EGM analysis and interpretation of (complex) arrhythmias related to the subject.
