A 3-DAY DIGITAL EVENT BROADCAST
DECEMBER 9th – 11th 2020
4pm CET | 10am ET
Overview
Rhythm Interventions Online (RIO) - a new innovative virtual event, held on 9-11 December 2020, that brought together a leading international faculty to create a rich, interactive experience to best inform the global electrophysiology community of the latest developments and advances in clinical practice.
Led by Course Director, Prof Richard Schilling, Barts Heart Centre, London, and delivered through a crafted programme of discussion, opinion, and live cases from leading international centres, RIO will comprise twelve hours of best-in-class learning over three days.
