Welcome

Welcome to the Website of Pedirhythm XII, World Congress of Pediatric & Congenital Heart Rhythm Disorders
  

INVITATION by the Local Coordinator Dr. John Papagiannis

 

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to Pedirhythm XII which will be held in Athens in September 10-12, 2026.
Pedirhythm started in Istanbul in 2003, and after moving to various cities in Turkey, the venue shifted to other European cities and to the United States.
After a very successful meeting in Rome in 2024, Pedirhythm comes now to another great historic city, Athens, the birthplace of democracy and philosophy.

Pedirhythm is a biennial meeting which attracts physicians, as well as fellows in training, nurses, scientists, and industry representatives from across the globe. It has become the main international meeting dedicated to pediatric and congenital electrophysiology.
Pedirhythm is a great opportunity to learn and share advances in clinical and basic electrophysiology for children and patients with congenital cardiac disease and a unique opportunity to meet international experts in this field, but also young and enthusiastic clinicians and researchers.As in the previous meetings, all aspects of pediatric and congenital EP will be covered, including clinical advances, catheter ablation and device issues, fetal and adult congenital electrophysiology and genetics. Artificial intelligence plays an increasing role in our practice and this will be also be reflected in Pedirhythm XII.

CME credits will be applied and we expect that this congress will be endorsed by the Association for European Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology, the Heart Rhythm Society, the Pediatric and Congenital EP Society, and other important national and international pediatric and adult cardiology and EP societies.

We look forward to welcome you to Athens, where in addition to an exciting scientific symposium, you will be able to enjoy the Greek culture and cuisine, visit the ancient monuments and museums and meet colleagues and friends from all over the world.
