Overview
Kansas City Heart Rhythm Virtual Symposium 2020
The purpose of this virtual symposium is to update medical practitioners on the future of cardiac electrophysiology (EP), and on new diagnosis and treatment guidelines in the care and management of patients with arrhythmias, heart failure and other issues impacting the electrical system of the body. Participants will learn about advances in ablation techniques, device management, appropriate use criteria, and survey new developments in guidelines and recommendations. A review of clinical trials that have helped change the clinical practice of EP will also be held. Participants in this virtual symposium will examine the latest trends in Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) treatment options and gain a greater understanding of anticoagulation and stroke prophylaxis.

The program will address the following learning objectives:
• Discuss types of devices used for monitoring and treating arrhythmias, including advances in ablative techniques
• Demonstrate the use of imaging techniques to improve procedural outcomes
• Apply guideline-endorsed, clinically applicable strategies to help resolve lead failure, device malfunctions, and other device-related issues
• Summarize clinical trial results that can be applied to improving the safety and efficacy of electrophysiology (EP) procedures
• Investigate the role that genetics has in patients with arrhythmias
• Explain anticoagulation treatment and stroke prophylaxis options for cardiac patients
• Examine clinical evidence for the latest trends in LAA treatments

Faculty disclosures will be available prior to the meeting.
ACHL and KCHRS staff members and others involved with the planning, development, and review of the content for this activity have no relevant affiliations or financial relationships to disclose.
The content for this activity was developed independently of the commercial supporter. All materials are included with permission. The opinions expressed are those of the faculty and are not to be construed as those of the publisher or grantors.
This educational activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Accreditation Criteria, Policies, and Standards for Commercial Support. Recommendations involving clinical medicine in a continuing medical education (CME/CE) activity must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in CME/CE in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, and analysis.
This CME/CE activity might describe the off-label, investigational, or experimental use of medications and/or devices that may exceed their FDA-approved labeling. Physicians should consult the current manufacturers’ prescribing information for these products. ACHL requires the speaker to disclose that a product is not labeled for the use under discussion.
To receive credit, participants are required to participate in the virtual activity and complete the evaluation sent via email following the meeting. Once the evaluation is completed, a certificate will be immediately available and also emailed. There is no fee to participate in the activity or for the generation of the certificate.
Inquiries may be directed to ACHL at (877) 444-8435, ext. 160.
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL) and KCHRS Foundation. ACHL is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
