Sponsored by The Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing EducationSupported by unrestricted educational grants by multiple companies

In general, the complexity of the data currently being generated on advances in diagnosis and treatment of electrical disorders makes it difficult for the subspecialist to remain up to date. This symposium seeks to fulfill the need in the practicing physician and allied professionals to increase and improve the fund of knowledge in managing complex arrhythmias and will discuss techniques to optimize outcomes of access and ablation. The symposium will utilize lectures and case presentations, which will allow providers to incorporate the most up-to-date research into their clinical practice and, thus, optimize patient outcomes to optimize learning.Learning Objectives: · Assess the clinical utility of the LAA closure technology based on recent and ongoing clinical trial and registry data

· Discuss the use of epicardial access for catheter-based ablation of ventricular tachycardia in various disease states

· Assess the current state-of-the art approach for failed AF ablation

Thursday, May 11 | 7 – 9:15 p.m.Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy 2017: Building a Program to Get All Patients Successfully to the Finish LineWaldorf Room, Hilton Chicago


CRT has been proven in many well-designed clinical trials to improve quality of life and functional status in patients with HF, to improve pump efficiency, and to enable patients to live longer. Careful attention to appropriate device-related programming can maximize the benefits to be gained with CRT. Remote monitoring of patients’ status using innovative sensors may in future years enhance HF patient outcomes. As new information about the benefits of CRT are demonstrated, it may become possible to reduce the burden attributable to HF disease progression with this relatively new therapeutic modality. The goal of this activity is to provide healthcare providers a state of the art update of CRT in 2017.Learning Objectives: · Identify the current indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and discuss current approaches to predicting CRT response

· Outline strategies for optimizing CRT in patients whose disease has not responded to therapy

· Discuss the effects left ventricular lead placement and ventricular dyssynchrony have on response to the therapy

· Critically assess the evidence-based pros and cons of using remote monitoring for CRT follow-up
