Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Commutes I welcome you to The 9th International Dead Sea Symposium on Cardiac Arrhythmias and Device Therapy (IDSS).
 
It is a real pleasure for me to invite once again all the physicians in the field of cardiac pacing and electrophysiology and those clinical cardiologists, internists and fellows in cardiology to join us once again in this well established meeting, to share your knowledge, the results of your research and your valuable perspectives.

The previous symposium (8th IDSS, October 2006) clearly showed a worldwide interest on the part of many electrophysiologists in our meeting where scientific achievements may be joined with a pleasant stay in fabulous Tel Aviv.

The Program Committee has prepared a high-quality, CME accredited program which reflects the advances in the main fields of cardiac electrophysiology and pacing. "Hot" topics on basic electrophysiology, pediatric and adult cardiology, including non-pharmacological treatment of AF, CHF and prevention of sudden cardiac death will be discussed in sessions and satellite symposia with participation of leading specialists from Europe, USA, Canada and Asian-Pacific area. Mini-courses on CRT and AF ablation are also included in the program.
This time, the IDSS will also include an organized workshop designed for physicians practicing general internal medicine, general cardiology and for fellows in internal medicine and cardiology. The goal of this specialized and focused workshop is to update practitioners about current state of the art issues and advances in the diagnosis and management of brady- and tachyarrhythmias.

There will also be separate sessions for surgical treatment cardiac arrhythmias, satellite symposia for family physicians, for physicians working in sport medicine and for nurses and technicians working in pacing, EP and cardiac care units. These symposia were well attended at former conferences were tremendously successful during the last IDSS.
I hope that the 9th IDSS Symposium will  be equally successful thanks to the participation of an outstanding faculty and audience dealing with: cardiac arrhythmias.

On behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Committees I would like to express my appreciation to our fabulous faculty and you, participants. I hope all of you will depart from Israel enlightened, invigorated and looking forward to return. I cordially wish us all a fruitful and enjoyable meeting.

Sincerely Yours,

Prof. I. Eli Ovsyshcher, MD, PhD, FESC, FACC, FHRS, MAHA
President of the Symposium
