Arrhythmia Alliance and HRUK held the second Heart Rhythm Congress from 29th – 31st October. This well-attended meeting was highly successful and played host to the HRUK training courses, various conferences, meetings, debates, patient group meetings, live cases, and an industry exhibition which ran throughout HRC kicked off on Monday 29th October with a variety of sessions including one for those involved with Primary Care, where management of all aspects of arrhythmia care and the interaction between primary, secondary and tertiary care were discussed, and a Department of Health meeting on ‘Innovation and Excellence in Heart Rhythm Management’. An afternoon session on surgery in arrhythmia management provided an exciting insight into the current status and role of surgery for atrial fibrillation and congenital heart disease.
