Pericardial Intervention in Cardiac Electrophysiology: Evolving Strategies and Outcomes COMPLIMENTARY DINNER PROGR AM Heart Rhythm 2015 Satellite Session Tuesday, May 12, 2015 7:00-10:00pm Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel Grand Ballroom A Boston, MA ccfcme.org/HRSintervention15 This program is not part of Heart Rhythm 2015 as planned by the Heart Rhythm Society Scientific Sessions Program Committee. This event is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Heart Rhythm Society. This event does qualify for continuing medical education (CME) credit. Pericardial Intervention in Cardiac Electrophysiology: Evolving Strategies and Outcomes OBJECTIVES • Describe advances in the application of energy delivery during AF ablation • Critically appraise the techniques and potential complications of various percutaneous and minimally invasive approaches to accessing the pericardial space • Assess efficacy, safety, and complications with epicardial VT ablation • Explain the role of EKG and clinical factors which would suggest epicardial access should guide ablation procedures and increase success rates FACULT Y DISCLOSURE The Cleveland Clinic Foundation Center for Continuing Education has implemented a policy to comply with the current Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education Standards for Commercial Support requiring resolution of all faculty conflicts of interest. Faculty declaring a relevant commercial interest will be identified in the activity syllabus.

OVERVIEW Percutaneous access to the pericardial space has become a valuable tool for mapping and ablating arrhythmias. Adequate understanding of the relevant anatomy, mapping techniques, and knowledge of different complications is important to ensure successful and safe use of this technique. The program will include lectures and case based decision making sessions which will provide the most recent data, technical advances, and their implications for clinical practice. ccfcme.org/HRSintervention15 7:00-10:00pm Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel Grand Ballroom A Boston, MA Tuesday, May 12, 2015 Heart Rhythm 2015 Satellite Session COMPLIMENTARY DINNER PROGR AM Evolving Strategies and Outcomes Pericardial Intervention in Cardiac Electrophysiology: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation 9500 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, OH 44195
