Join us for this full-day high-quality educational session for Cardiology Specialty Registrars on Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) from a panel of international speakers.

The session will build from the anatomy basics and ECG interpretation to ICD use and then medical and ablation therapies, including the management of VT electrical storm. When relevant, the 2022 ESC Guidelines for the management of patients with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death will be highlighted.

By attending this meeting, you will be able to learn:

  • The anatomy, ECG and mechanisms of normal and scar-related VT
  • The ICD indications in the setting of VT
  • How to manage VT electrical storm and paroxysmal VT/ICD shocks
