Description
Latin America Summit 2023 was hosted by HRS and LAHRS at Heart Rhythm 2023. The goal of the Summit is to provide a mechanism for the exchange of knowledge, identify opportunities to improve patient care, and to strengthen relationships among our organizations. The presentations will focus on specific clinical and healthcare issues faced by each country. Clinical issues may include the epidemiology and importance of specific heart rhythm related diseases and their treatment strategies. Healthcare issues address health care policy issues such as work force, availability, and reimbursement for pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments and training.
Learning Objectives
- To exchange knowledge and strengthen relationships between member countries of the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society and the Heart Rhythm Society.
