We meet in the building of the WSS Administration and Didactic Center in Biała Podlaska. For all registered Participants we offer dinner after a long journey.

Welcomeaddress and presentation of the framework plan of the workshops.

Condensed review of the different RF ablation methods for atrial fibrillation outside PVI over the last years.

Re-ablation procedure with dense 3D mapping and RF current in a patient after previous balloon cryoablation.

The strategy for ablating atrial fibrillation (AF) beyond pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been a contentious issue for decades. However, recent evidence from both randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCT data underscores the importance of substrate modification guided by sinus rhythm (SR) low-voltage myocardium in enhancing AF ablation outcomes, particularly in persistent and potentially paroxysmal AF patients. This approach has demonstrated additional benefits, including fewer repeat ablations and reduced procedure and fluoroscopy times compared to other PVI+ strategies. Christopher Piorkowski and Yun Hou are the authors of the ERASE-AF trial.

Short, several-minute presentations of their own interesting RF treatments by Workshop Participants. By teaching others, we all learn from each other.

End of day 1 and transfer to the evening meeting in Uroczysko Zaborek. This is also our main place of accommodation for the Participants of our workshops.

After checking in, we invite you to our evening meeting and further discussions about ablations at RF in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

A few words about the daily schedule.

The term “atrial cardiomyopathy” first appeared in the medical literature in 1972. The first HRA/HRS/APHRS/SOLAECE expert consensus was published in 2016. The latest data on atrial cardiomyopathy were presented in September this year at ESC 2024 by Prof. Andreas Goette in the form of the EHRA/HRS/APHRS/LAHRS Clinical Consensus Statement.

In patients at the end stage of atrial myopathy, electrically separate the LA from the rest of the heart (left-right atrial isolation) is feasible and safe. It offers an effective treatment option for rhythm control in AF pts. with end-stage atrial disease. Christopher Piorkowski i  Yun Hou to twórcy badania ERASE-AF trial

The end of our meeting and plans for the future. We are waiting here for your comments, suggestions, observations. It is worth meeting and sharing knowledge and experience.
