Brown Arrhythmia Symposium 2019: Atrial Fibrillation and Advanced Therapies for Congestive Heart Failure
The Brown Arrhythmia symposium program is designed to provide cardiac electrophysiologists, cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, emergency medicine physicians, internists and associated professionals with a state-of-the-art update on the clinical diagnosis, evaluation and management of cardiac rhythm disorders.
Attendees of the symposium will gain an understanding of new therapies in cardiac diagnostics and cardiac ablation, surgical intervention, and cardiac device management for patients with congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
Specialized content has been specifically designed for associated professionals and advanced practitioners involved in the management of patients with cardiac rhythm disorders. The program will uniquely highlight clinical controversies in a clinical case format.
Target Audience

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Identify patients at risk for thromboembolic events with atrial fibrillation
- Identify appropriate therapies for prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation
- Recognize indications, risks, and benefits and alternative therapy for ablation of atrial fibrillation
