Welcome to
HRAS ASM & GP Forum 2024
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the Heart Rhythm Association Singapore (HRAS) will hold our fourth Annual Scientific Meeting and GP forum from 25 – 26 October 2024 (SGT/GMT+8) at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore.
This is the first year we will be combining our annual scientific meeting with our GP forum. This meeting will focus on atrial fibrillation and the role of early rhythm control. We have put together an exciting program that discusses the management of this common arrhythmia at all levels of healthcare – from rate and rhythm control in the primary healthcare setting to the latest advances in mapping and pulsed field ablation for the cardiac electrophysiologist.
In our GP forum, we bring back our popular ECG course, focusing on key concepts in basic and advanced ECG interpretation, and discuss how wearable technology has changed how we diagnose and manage patients with cardiac arrhythmia.
This year, we are also very excited to have a dedicated session for our allied health professionals – run by cardiac technologists, for cardiac technologists, to discuss the management and follow up of cardiac implantable electronic devices and approaches to device troubleshooting.
This meeting will have something for everyone – from primary care physicians, allied health professionals to cardiac electrophysiologists. We are honoured to have an esteemed panel of experts, both local and international, as faculty for this meeting.
We hope you will take time off to join us for this meeting and hope you will find the program both educational and enriching. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr Tan li Wei
Dr Julian Tay,
