Welcome Address
Dear Colleagues
The subspeciality of cardiac electrophysiology and pacing in
Egypt continues to attract increasing numbers of young investigators.
Today, cardiac pacing and interventional electrophysiologic procedures
are being practiced in over 10 university and academic hospitals as
well as in public health, military and non academic private hospitals.
Starting by a small working group in the eighties, Egyptian
pioneers of cardiac pacing and electrophysiology pursued the hard
task of promoting the specialty and encouraging practicing
cardiologists and critical care physicians to go into the field rewarded
only by scientific achievements and mastering skills of the expanding
advances in ablation.
Today, we are announcing the 8 th international meeting of the
Egyptian Cardiac Rhythm Association (ECRA) to be held in Cairo. With
its 15 guest speakers, we are hoping to make it a spectacular event.
You are invited to attend this meeting which comprises plenary
sessions, minicourse, lectures and satellite symposia on both
diagnostic techniques as well as interventional and device therapy in
tachy and brady arrhythmias, besides interactive and case scenario
sessions.
Looking forward to your active participation.
The Congress Board
