Now in its fifth year, the Western Atrial Fibrillation Symposium has firmly established its reputation as the world’s best and most comprehensive education meeting focused exclusively on atrial fibrillation (AF). The upcoming 2012 symposium promises to be even bigger and better than ever, as it will highlight the latest research and exciting new advances being made in the diagnosis, treatment and management of AF.

Electrophysiologists and other physicians can register now for the symposium, which will take place February 24-25, 2012 at the Park City Marriott in Park City, Utah. Registration also is open to residents/students and nurses.

The symposium’s distinguished faculty includes more than 40 physicians from renowned international medical centers and universities, who will address AF from multiple perspectives. For example, a new session for the 2012 conference will be a panel discussion entitled, “Follow-up Endpoints after Successful Treatment of AF? Examples from the Experts.”

Other topics covered during this two-day, world-class event include:

• New Aspects of the Genetics of AF
• Are MRI Scanners Ready for EP Applications?
• New Anticoagulation Drugs
• Updates on Ablation Trials
• Robots in the EP Lab: Are They Still Needed?
• Stem Cells, Heart Failure, and AF

Physicians who attend this educational activity can earn a maximum of 12.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. The symposium is sponsored by the University of Utah’s Comprehensive Arrhythmia Research and Management Center (CARMA) and co-sponsored by The Heart Rhythm Society (HRS).

Last year, more than 350 cardiologists, physicians and others attended the Western Atrial Fibrillation Symposium, and this figure will likely be even higher in 2012. The CARMA Center welcomes you to join your colleagues and enjoy the spectacular venue of Park City, Utah, which hosted the 2002 Winter Olympic Games at its three world-class ski resorts.
