Learning Objectives

This Town Hall meeting is designed to be an engaging and interactive forum where healthcare professionals can explore and discuss critical aspects of rhythm and rate control, as well as the use of catheter ablation as a first-line therapy for AFib. The session will include: 

  • Panel Discussion: The session will begin with a panel of distinguished experts who will share their insights on rhythm and rate control strategies, focusing on special populations such as pregnant women, patients with heart failure, and athletes. The discussion will also cover the latest evidence supporting catheter ablation over drug therapy for selected patients. 
  • Submitted Questions: To ensure the discussion is relevant to the audience, we will collect questions from participants prior to the Town Hall. These pre-submitted questions will help guide the conversation and ensure that we address the most pressing concerns and topics of interest. 
  • Audience Participation: In addition to pre-submitted questions, there will be ample opportunity for live audience participation. Attendees will be encouraged to submit questions during the Town Hall, which you will moderate to facilitate real-time interaction and engagement with the panelists.
