The California Heart Rhythm Symposium aims to bring together leaders in the field of cardiac arrhythmias and provides a forum for presentation and discussion of the latest advances in the field. The target audiences include practicing cardiac electrophysiologists, cardiologists, internists and allied health professionals. 

The meeting will highlight how the understanding of basic mechanisms and new advances is translated into clinical practice. Furthermore, the program will explore how clinical problems have created new avenues for research and therapeutics. 

The content of this educational activity was determined by rigorous assessment of program feedback from prior California Heart Rhythm symposia, expert faculty assessment and new medical knowledge in the field.

The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA designates this live activity for a maximum of 10.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ^TM. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

The FDA has issued a concept paper which classifies commercial support of scientific and educational programs as promotional unless it can be affirmed that the program is "truly independent" and free of commercial influence. In addition to independence, the FDA requires that nonpromotional, commercially supported education be objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous. The policy further states that all potential conflicts of interest of the CME staff and faculty be fully disclosed to the program's participants. In addition, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education policy mandates that the provider adequately manages all identified potential conflicts of interest prior to the program. We at UCLA fully endorse the letter and spirit of these concepts.
