Novel oral anticoagulants during clinical procedures in patients with AF:<br />
translating promising data into real-life practice<br />
sponsored by boehringer ingelheim<br />
Chairpersons: G.y.H. lip (birmingham, Gb); P.E. Vardas (Heraklion, GR)<br />
To describe the available guidance (specifically the <strong>EHRA</strong> guidance) and data supporting optimal<br />
strategies for using NOACs in patients with AF undergoing clinical procedures, focussing on<br />
cardioversion and ablation. To discuss the practicalities <strong>of</strong> using NOACs in patients undergoing invasive<br />
procedures. To use real-world information to provide insights into optimal management strategies.<br />

A new paradigm in ICD therapy: clinical perspectives on a novel singlechamber<br />
ICD system with complete atrial diagnostics<br />
sponsored by biOtROniK<br />
Chairperson: b. Merkely (budapest, HU)<br />
By the end <strong>of</strong> the symposium, the participants should be able to: Discuss the clinical benefits <strong>of</strong> this new<br />
ICD system and specifically <strong>of</strong> its single-coil, single-pass ICD lead with atrial sensing capability. Describe<br />
the particular benefit <strong>of</strong> the atrial sensing capability for early detection <strong>of</strong> atrial fibrillation when used<br />
with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring.<br />
