2 Welcome Therapy TM Cool Flex TM Ablationskatheter Dear colleagues, On June 26, 2011, Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg, Germany s oldest university will be celebrating its 625 anniversary. During its academic year we would like to invite you to our scientific symposium on Up-date on Arrhythmias. Cool und flexibel - Auch unter Druck Just like you Wir stellen vor: Der Therapy Cool Flex Ablationskatheter stellt als erster voll gekühlter Katheter mit flexibler Spitze einen Durchbruch in der Ablationstechnologie dar. Die Lasercut-Katheterspitze lässt sich biegen und kann sich so an das Gewebe anpassen. Dadurch wird die Kraftübertragung auf das Gewebe reduziert und eine außergewöhnliche Kühlung über die gesamte Katheterspitze erzielt. Hiermit steht Ihnen jetzt das perfekte Instrument für Ihre anspruchsvolle Arbeit zur Verfügung: ein Katheter, der genau wie Sie auch unter Druck cool und flexibel bleibt. This symposium is designed for internists, cardiologists, electrophysiology fellows, and others interested in cardiac arrhythmias. It is our intend to present the latest results of basic and clinical research and information about ablation, genetics, novel devices for heart failure management, anticoagulation and imaging technologies. In addition, we have devoted an entire section to arrhythmias in athletes. Prof. Mark Josephson, Boston, USA, and Prof. Hein Wellens, Maastricht, The Netherlands, will conduct one of their unique ECG courses on Thursday, September 15. The ECG remains still the most powerful diagnostic tool in the field of cardiac arrhythmias. The two internationally highly recognized academic teachers will discuss ECG tracings in an interactive session. The symposium will provide illustrated oral presentations by national and international experts, as well as discussions of latest clinical developments. It is designed to help foment changes in practice relative to arrhythmia management. The programme is endorsed by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) and the German Cardiac Society (DGK). This CME activity has been designed to change medical knowledge and patient care. Overall, 16 CME points can be claimed with the extent of your participation in this activity. On behalf of the course directors I would like to welcome you in Mannheim. Martin Borggrefe, MD Therapy, Cool Flex, ST. JUDE MEDICAL, the nine-squares symbol and MORE CONTROL.
