CVI’s 12th Annual EP/Arrhythmia Management Update 2023

CVI’s 12th Annual EP/Arrhythmia Management Update 2023 is organized by Cardiovascular Institute (CVI) of Philadelphia and will be held on Feb 26, 2023 at Hilton Philadelphia at Penn's Landing, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America.

• Leadless/Conduction System Pacing
• AI & EP
• Cardiopulmonary Stimulation
• Non-Invasive Radiation
• Remote Monitoring; Factor 11 Anticoagulation
• HF Management in the EP Lab
• Cardioneuroablation
• EP Implications of PCI
• Interactive ECG Spotlight Sessions focusing on Paced ECG Interpretation, Ambulatory ECGs, and ECGs to Diagnose the Need for a Pacemaker
