Invitation

This is an invitation to attend the Eighteenth Annual Scientific Congress of the European Cardiac Arrhythmia Society „ECAS 2025“, which will be held in Rome, Italy, from 18 to 20 May at the A.Roma Lifestyle Hotel Conference Centre. All those who have attended previous editions of the ECAS Congress know that it is a highly scientific and educational event in a convivial atmosphere that encourages interaction between „masters“ and younger participants. ECAS Congresses are indeed unique. They offer participants an authentic academic experience, where young, passionate colleagues engage in open, intimate and informal discussions with mentors who have inspired them on their professional journeys.

Importantly, the second edition of the successful ECAS Educational Course will also take place, with a basic and advanced programme organised by Professor Thorsten Lewalter. This edition promises to be particularly successful and we look forward to welcoming you to Rome next spring.
