The 43rd International Congress on Electrocardiology
Palma, Balearic Islands, Spain
June 4-6, 2016
Dear friends and colleagues,
We have the honour of inviting you to the 43rd International Congress on
Electrocardiology – ICE 2016. It will take place at Palma de Mallorca, Balearic
Islands, Spain, 4 to 6 June 2016.
Surface electrocardiography has improved in the last years thanks to
correlation with imaging techniques and advances in genetic studies. However,
we need to consider that correlation with clinical studies is also just as useful.
Electrocardiography is a basic technique that requires continuous learning.
Electrocardiographic interpretation is crucial and must be carried out as part of
imaging studies. We must make an effort to demonstrate that the
electrocardiogram is a technique in constant evolution that provides information
about aetiology, electrophysiology, mechanisms, the indications for treatment
and prognosis, not only in heart disease but also in many other aspects, always
with a good cost-benefit ratio. This is why we want to give a practical purpose to the ICI-2016 Congress. In addition
to the classical topics in the field of electrocardiology, the ICE 2016 Congress will address new and important
themes: atrial block and atrial arrhythmias (Bayes Syndrome), the ECG pattern of Brugada Syndrome (differential
diagnosis), mistakes in the ECG interpretation in ACS, new insights into the electrophysiological mechanisms of
atrial fibrillation, technical advances in surface electrocardiography, the role of late-sodium channel modulators, and
advances in the genetic diagnosis of arrhythmic disorders.
We very much hope that you will decide to attend the congress, and we will do our best to make you fall in
love with Mallorca. Our best regards
