WELCOME MESSAGE
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we invite you to attend the XIV Argentina Congress of Arrhythmias 2025, the VIII Congress of the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS), and the first summit of arrhythmia committees of the Southern Cone cardiology societies, a meeting that will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the first time.
Argentina has become a leader in the field of cardiology, boasting important representatives such as Pedro Cosio, Mauricio Rosenbaum, René Favaloro, Julio Palmaz, Juan Carlos Parodi, Liliana Grienfield, Carlos Bertolasi, and many others.
During the meeting, there will be important lectures, symposia, and oral and poster presentations to discuss the latest trends in the field, share best practices and experiences, and provide numerous opportunities to exchange viewpoints with world-renowned speakers.
The commercial exposition will serve as a platform to present our local companies and products to the world, promoting international trade and business.
The presidents of the world’s arrhythmia societies will be present, along with representatives from European (EHRA), Asia Pacific (APHRS), USA (HRS), Africa, and leaders from Latin American countries and China.
Additionally, this will be a wonderful opportunity to network with colleagues and meet friends from previous meetings around the world.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to Buenos Aires!
