The Innovation Summit at HRX Live 2026 is a dynamic half-day program that spotlights transformative technologies, breakthrough treatments and groundbreaking advancements in cardiovascular medicine and electrophysiology. Co-chaired by Prashanthan Sanders and Devi Nair, the summit features rapid-fire presentations that delve into cutting-edge ideas.
The Innovation Summit continues across the expanding boundaries of EP: new PFA strategies, non-invasive mapping, ventricular ablation, LAA therapy, physiologic pacing, pericardial access, imaging, sleep-apnea workflows, and stroke prevention. Short, focused presentations will highlight technologies with credible paths to clinical impact.
