Chennai, August 25, 2025 : Kauvery Hospital
successfully hosted the Afib & Pacing Summit 2025, an academic symposium
that brought together cardiac electro physiologists, cardiologists, and general
physicians to share knowledge and build skills in managing atrial
fibrillation (AFib) and advancing device therapies such as leadless
pacemakers.
The summit addressed the growing global challenge of
Atrial Fibrillation, the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia affecting
more than 37 million people worldwide. Atrial Fibrillation is associated
with irregular and often rapid heartbeats, significantly raising the risk of
stroke, heart failure, and reduced quality of life. With prevalence projected
to double by 2050, the workshop underscored the urgent need for
innovation in rhythm care and the central role of electrophysiologists in driving
this progress.
Over the course of the workshop, participants engaged
in keynote talks, live case discussions, hands-on simulator sessions, and wet
lab dissections. The academic sessions explored a wide spectrum of topics, from
stroke risk reduction in AF and ablation strategies to the expanding role of
leadless pacemakers, alongside practical training in single and dual chamber
implantation. Designed to combine theory with real-world application, the
program equipped physicians with both the latest insights and procedural skills
to enhance patient outcomes.
Dr. Deep Chandh Raja S, Senior Consultant
Cardiologist and Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology, Kauvery Hospital,
Chennai, said: “The Afib & Pacing Summit has shown us how far rhythm
management has progressed—from conventional strategies for atrial fibrillation
to truly wire-free pacing. What makes this symposium special is that it’s not
just about technology, but about how these innovations can be translated into
better outcomes for our patients.”
Speaking about Kauvery Hospital’s vision, Dr.
Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-Founder & Executive Director,
Kauvery Hospital, noted: “At Kauvery Hospital, we believe the future
of cardiac care lies at the intersection of clinical expertise and technological
innovation. Organising the Afib & Pacing Summit is part of our larger
commitment to advancing medical education and empowering physicians with
next-generation knowledge and skills. Through such initiatives, we aim to build
stronger clinical networks, promote collaboration, and ultimately ensure that
patients benefit from safer, smarter, and more effective rhythm management.”
By hosting the Afib & Pacing Summit, Kauvery
Hospital has reinforced its role as a centre of excellence in cardiac rhythm
care and its dedication to driving meaningful change in the wayarrhythmias are
treated.
