Message from the Chair
On behalf of the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society, I am proud to announce that the 17th APHRS Scientific Sessions will be held in Sydney 26-29 September 2024.
The upcoming 2024 APHRS Scientific Sessions mark a significant milestone, as it will be the first time in almost a decade that this event will be held in Australia. Our aim is to raise the bar and deliver an exceptional meeting that encompasses the latest advancements in electrophysiology over recent years and sets the stage for the future technological, clinical, and research breakthroughs in the field of arrhythmia.
As the premier gathering for the Asia-Pacific region on arrhythmia, APHRS 2024 Sydney will serve as a vital platform for over 3,000 cardiologists and electrophysiology physicians. Together, they will engage in discussions centred around evidence-based medicine, present cutting-edge research, and crucially, interact with industry leaders who are driving innovations in this field.
Building on its reputation as a truly global event, APHRS has established strong collaborative relationships with both HRS (Heart Rhythm Society) and EHRA (European Heart Rhythm Association). We are thrilled to announce that we have already secured the participation of over 100 prominent international leaders in the field of arrhythmia and device management, representing the Asia- Pacific region, Europe, and the Americas. The city of Sydney, renowned for its academic excellence, makes for an appealing destination for physicians in the region.
