Welcome to Atrial Signals

 

In recent years, we have again witnessed very significant advances in technological methodology, pathophysiological understanding and clinical research in the field of atrial tachyarrhythmias. New ablation methodologies have been introduced, wearables offer exciting opportunities for rhythm monitoring, new anticoagulant compounds are intensively investigated, artificial intelligence improves diagnostic capabilities and computer models start to enter the clinical arena. Using and combining these new opportunities to improve health care in patients with atrial tachyarrhythmias still poses a major challenge to the research community. 

A joint collaboration of all experts - clinicians and engineers - offers the best prospects to address these challenges. The first edition of Atrial Signals took place in Karlsruhe (2015), followed by Valencia (2017), Bordeaux (2019), Karlsruhe (2021). In 2024 the 5^th edition of Atrial Signals will take place in Maastricht, the Netherlands. 

Distinguished experts such as cardiologists, engineers, electro-physiologists and basic scientists are invited to participate as speakers and as panelists. They will share the newest insights in pathophysiology of atrial tachyarrhythmias and new technology for AF/AT characterization. 
Don’t miss the opportunity to meet key experts in the field!

The conference is organized by a multidisciplinary team from Maastricht University, Maastricht University Medical Centre, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Städtisches Klinikum Karlsruhe. 
We are looking forward to welcome you in Maastricht from 6-8 June 2024!
