A total of 21 late-breaking science presentations are scheduled for Heart Rhythm 2024, the annual meeting of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS). The meeting will take place May 16-19 in Boston.
HRS said this year’s meeting received the highest number of late-breaking abstract submissions in the 45-year history of the conference.
“This year, we are excited to see a 23% increase in scientific abstract submissions since our 2020 annual meeting, bringing us closer to pre-pandemic numbers,” HRS President Jodie L. Hurwitz, MD, said in a statement. “The Heart Rhythm Society will bring together heart rhythm care professionals from more than 80 countries once again to share the latest groundbreaking science, technologies, and life-saving therapies so they can return home with a reinvigorated passion for arrhythmia patient care.”
The society expects approximately 8,400 attendees this year in addition to more than 200 sessions and more than 100 vendors of the exhibit floor.
