Cardiac Arrhythmias

The Cardiac Arrhythmias Learning Pathway at ACC.27-WCC brings together clinically relevant advances in electrophysiology, from pulsed field ablation to left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) to evolving payment and training models, while incorporating diverse voices across the care team, including fellows and advanced practice providers. The pathway pairs state-of-the-art science with practical, case-based decision-making, reflecting how to translate electrophysiology's advances into day-to-day patient care.

LAAO anchors several sessions this year, driven by recently published trial data that conflicts on key questions of patient selection and long-term management. The pathway also places significant emphasis on AFib and stroke prevention amid an expanding array of anticoagulation and ablation strategies, on device management across complex clinical scenarios including end-of-life and oncology care, and on electrophysiology as an evolving career pathway for trainees weighing their next steps.
