Dear Friends and Colleagues, We are glad to welcome you to RHYTHM 2015, dedicated to Arrhythmias & Heart Failure, for two days and a half of interactive education.

Thursday will be dedicated to New anticoagulants (NOAC), Ablation of atrial fibrillation, and new devices. High level conferences and video cases will accurately illustrate latest advances and tools now available. French speaking cardiologists will benefit from a specific educational program through a satellite session held on Thursday morning.

Friday will start with the oral communications. During this educational program, the free papers session will allow physicians to present their work. Then we will be able to follow conferences on ventricular arrhythmias, ablation of classical arrhythmias and channelopathies.

Paramedical education is also enlightened on Friday with a French course dedicated to the update of theoretical knowledge and daily practices.

On Saturday morning, interesting clinical cases will be presented in a different venue, at the Sofitel Vieux Port.

Symposia are also scheduled every day to continue the discussion and present industry results and news in the main room before lunch.

Do not miss the chance to attend the official dinner on Thursday evening. You are welcome to register at the desk.

Once more, we are pleased to have you for fruitful teaching in the beautiful congress center of Palais du Pharo in Marseille.

The RHYTHM Directors Fiorenzo Gaita, Franck Halimi, Jean-François Leclercq, André Pisapia, Julien Seitz & Jérôme Taieb
