The twelfth annual International Symposium on Catheter Ablation Techniques (ISCAT) will be held in Paris, October 3-5, 2018.

Over the last 20 years, the field of Electrophysiology and Catheter Ablationhas rapidly evolved, experiencing profound changes in indications, techniques and technologies. ISCAT aims to give an overview of the field of catheter ablation providing access to the best scientific knowledge.

The entire meeting will be dedicated to catheter ablation of Atrial Fibrillation and Ventricular Arrythmias. Technical and clinical aspects of current methods for ablation of Atrial Fibrillation and Ventricular Arrhythmias will be discussed with internationally renowned leaders in the field. Many topics will be illustrated by case reports and videos.

We will increase the time devoted to electrophysiologists in training with the help of the Reunion of European countries for the Treatment of Arrhythmias in Cardiology (RETAC) in highly practical sessions.

Importantly, the very popular sessions dedicated to the laboratory technicians will be reinforced. Finally, as for the previous editions, the Rythmology and Stimulation Group of the French Society of Cardiology and EHRA will contribute significantly to our program.

We do hope that you have enjoyed the previous editions and we will be very happy to welcome you again or perhaps for the first time in Paris in the fall of 2018.
