Innovation Summit Section ll: Innovation in Cardiac Ablation

September 04, 2025 | 08:55 AM (EDT) - 09:45 AM (EDT)

The Innovation Summit at HRX Live 2025 is a dynamic half-day program that spotlights transformative technologies, breakthrough treatments and groundbreaking advancements in cardiovascular medicine and electrophysiology. Co-chaired by Jon Piccini and Devi Nair, the summit features rapid-fire presentations that delve into cutting-edge ideas.

Following each session section, attendees have the opportunity to connect in a meaningful, HRX-style engagement. The interactive experience fosters deeper connections between innovators and the individuals who are interested in bringing these innovative and evolving solutions to their community.

Dive deeper into all things Cardiac Ablation, including High-Voltage PFA for Atrial and Ventricular Arrythmias, Steam-based Pulmonary Vein Isolation, Optimizing PFA for Ventricular Tachycardia, and so much more!
