Abstracts Submission Details
Before submitting an abstract, authors are urged to carefully read the information below:
- Authors do not need to be subscribers of Arrhythmia Alliance
- Abstracts must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere at the time of submission.
- Multiple abstracts around the same subject or using the same dataset (salami publication) is discouraged and may be penalised by the markers where it is felt that the data could have been better presented as a single abstract.
- Authors should be aware that the media have open access to the sessions.

Abstract Acceptance
- If your abstract is selected, the presenting author will be eligible to register for Heart Rhythm Congress at the abstract presenter rate. Other authors do not receive a reduced rate towards registration, and only one author per abstract is considered the presenter.
