Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to welcome you to the 12th Annual Scientific Congress of the European Cardiac
Arrhythmia Society “ECAS” to be held in Paris, France April 17 to 19, 2016 at the Meridien-Etoile Hotel.
All those who attended previous editions of ECAS Congress know that it is a highly scientific and
educational event in a cheerful atmosphere which facilitates the interaction between the renowned
faculty and younger colleagues in the field. This edition promises to be particularly successful and we
are delighted to have you with us in Paris.
