The APHRS Seoul Daily


APHRS 2016 promises to inspire you! On behalf of the APHRS 2016 Local Organizing Committee and APHRS headquarters, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all participants for joining this year’s 9th Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society Scientific Session in Seoul, Korea.

This Seoul meeting will be an immense opportunity to understand today’s medical trends and developments in the arrhythmia field and to stay abreast of the latest clinical trials and studies through more than 200 sessions.

This year, we have made special efforts to encourage discussion, debate, and exchange—activities that stand at the heart of innovation. Some exciting new sessions such as “Help Me, Master!” and “Anatomy Session” have been prepared, while the “Breakfast with Masters” will offer exclusive networking opportunities with grand masters.

As you immerse yourself in the scientific program, please make the most of our “formality-free” environment, and walk comfortably around the venue in casual shoes, without a tie.

Other “not to miss” points that can provide nice moments to share your ideas and experiences with your colleagues include the “Speakers’ and APHRS Members’ Lounge,” the Exhibition, and a specially arranged room with beanbag chairs.

APHRS 2016’s success is built around the 520 invited speakers from 50 countries, 240 sessions, 750 lectures, 600 abstract presentations, and all of you, dear participants from around the world.

Again, we’d like to express our deepest gratitude to you all for coming from far and near to be part of this year’s APHRS Scientific Session in Seoul.

As our slogan conveys, we promise you an extraordinary meeting where your sharing of experiences will inspire you, contributing to a blooming of ideas for the future development of our field.

For a refreshing change, APHRS 2016 is promoting a “formality-free” environment all through the week. Our aim? To inspire and encourage you to communicate more freely and openly with colleagues both familiar and new, and hopefully, inspire a few ideas. So we recommend wearing “business casual” outfits. That mean comfortable slacks and shirt, casual shoes, and definitely no neckties. Early-bird registrants received a nice bonus gift: a pair of casual shoes. We hope you will find that casual attire helps you navigate the venue comfortably and make the most of your time.

Faculty gather for an inspiring evening under the stars

The “EP Queen” ensemble, featuring four LOC members, sang an original version of Bohemian Rhapsody that they had composed, dedicated to the field’s practitioners.

The eventful evening kicked off with an outdoor social under the moonlight. (from left) HRS president-elect George F. Van Hare, Honorary Member Masayasu Hiraoka, and EHRA President Gerhard Hindricks lift their wine glasses in a toast during the Faculty Dinner.

As the sun set on APHRS 2016’s opening day, faculty from near and far gathered for the Faculty Dinner at the Raum Art Center, a celebrated Seoul art space. Formal attire prevailed, with men donning bowties, and women wearing corsages-an exception to the casual dress code. As a harpist strummed, members socialized beneath a moonlit sky. Before long, it was time to head indoors, where Maestro Nanse Geum and his orchestra took the stage. His humorous interpretations of each musical number further enlivened the convivial mood, adding a light mood to the evening. Once the orchestra set down their instruments, APHRS President Wee Siong Teo took to the stage, extending congratulations to the 300 faculty for their hard work and dedication. After toasts by Honorary Member Masayasu Hiraoka, HRS president-elect George F. Van Hare, and EHRA President Gerhard Hindricks, it was time for dinner. Seating had been randomly arranged so that junior and senior doctors could meet, nourishing the dinner

conversations.On the heels of a lively performance by a CD-manipulating magician, Young-Hoon Kim, president of the APHRS 2016 Local Organizing Committee (LOC), welcomed the faculty and expressed gratitude for their countless hours of dedication to this year’s scientific sessions.

Against a backdrop of harmonious music, delicious food, and

encouraging words, faculty from Korea and abroad were inspired to

share ideas and knowledge, and build new personal ties.

With its seeds planted, APHRS 2016

had begun to bloom.

It was now time for faculty to strut their stuff: LOC members — Young-Hoon Kim, Sang-Weon Park, Yong Seog Oh, Kee-Joon Choi, and Gyo-Seung Hwang — joined by four professional vocalists as the “EP Queen” ensemble, had prepared their own version of Bohemian Rhapsody whose lyrics underscored their care for patients, for APHRS, and EP: “APHRS. Venue for saving the Old. Woo-woo-woo-woo. Yeah. Woo. Yeah! Braving the new. Open your eyes and heart. EP is my life. EP is my Destiny. EP really matters to me.”“I always believe this time, this moment, will never come back to us. So we have to focus on APHRS... It is our life and our destiny,” said Dr. Kim.Wrapping up the evening, he called out to the crowd, “Oh happy day!” and they responded, “Cheers!” He then bellowed out: “APHRS,” and they all shouted, “Success!” Those final words reverberated through the room, casting a spell on this crisp October night.


When the day’s last sessions wrap up, it’s time to put down our laptops and notebooks and gather under one roof for what is poised to be this Session’s landmark event: the Opening Ceremony and Welcome Reception. All are invited — in business casual dress — to the 17:30 event. Eye-catching multimedia shows and video performances will arouse the senses, putting you in the mood to celebrate a successful launch of APHRS 2016. An outstanding speaker has been prepared to deliver this year’s keynote speech: Farhana Nakhooda, the director of Healthcare and Social Services at IBM Asia Pacific, will address critical aspects of our field’s future and vision that will reverberate with heart rhythm societies and practitioners worldwide. Her speech is sure to enlighten and educate participants.Right on the heels of the Opening Ceremony, everyone will proceed into the Exhibition Hall for the Welcome Reception. This being Korea, there will surely be a few toasts to a successful APHRS 2016. Accompanied by a standing buffet and a jazz performance, the reception will invite participants to relax and savor the casual setting, perhaps taking a few moments to network with colleagues old and new. There’s a special twist at this year’s Reception: a surprise performance is planned whose timing and contents are a tightly held secret. In order not to miss it, be sure and stay until the end. We’ll see you there!

DON’T GO HUNGRY! JOIN A BAG-LUNCH SYMPOSIUM

Several cutting-edge cardiac device makers will come together for this convenient session. Company officials will present on their technology’s strengths and also touch on what innovations and changes have occurred lately and are planned for the future. It’s a great opportunity to learn about the arrhythmia field’s latest technology directly from the source. This session is being held at 13:30 today in RM 13 (201), and is co-chaired by Hugh Calkins (USA), Kaoru Okishige (Japan), and Chu-Park Lau (Hong Kong).


COEX-CORE SESSIONS: FORUMS FOR SOME OF THE WORLD’S TOP ARRHYTHMIA SCIENTISTSJust what is a “COEX-Core Session”? Well, it has something to do with COEX; that’s the name of this mammoth convention center (and underground mall) housing our event (its full meaning is the “Convention and Exhibition Center.”) And the “core” part? That means they’re at the heart of each day, the session not to miss. During the four COEX-Core Sessions, ten world-renowned speakers from four continents - presenting in pairs or groups of three - will address the most pressing issues facing arrhythmia today. There’s a world-class lineup of presenters, hailing from both near (Korea, Japan) and far (U.S., U.K., Australia), thereby ensuring a rich diversity of topics; something will surely appeal to you. To hone in on the Core Session(s) that most interest you, peruse the schedule below. All COEX-Core Sessions are held in Room 01 (Auditorium),

You could call it medical diplomacy. APHRS 2016 has set up three sessions to promote a focused inter-regional dialogue with members of other heart rhythm societies in Japan (JHRS), Europe (EHRA), and the United States (HRS). During these 90-minute joint sessions, held together with APHRS, four or five members from the sister society will speak on diverse academic topics. This two-way arrangement has the potential to foster informational exchanges — and to build relations — across regions that are not in regular contact.The first two Joint Sessions are being held consecutively today starting at 13:30 and 15:30, featuring HRS and JHRS members, respectively. The third Joint Session with the EHRA is slated for Friday. All are welcome.

Heart Exhibition

Visit RM 1413th~15th

An experimental session entitled Anatomy Session—added for the first time here at APHRS 2016—begins today. As part of it, a live human heart that participants can touch and observe will be exhibited in Room 14 (Hall D 2). APHRS’2016’s LOC decided to add this exhibit to underscore the importance and necessity of continuing study of cardiac anatomy.

“To understand anatomy is sometimes difficult, because we see a 2-dimensional view in the book. But sometimes, seeing a 3-D view of the heart is very helpful,” said Dr. Seung-young Roh of Korea University Anam Hospital. He added that because it’s difficult to understand all aspects of anatomy at once, it’s important for EPs to study anatomy continuously, especially in tandem with the introduction of

new technologies and new information into the arrhythmia field.

The panel presentations will tak place at the scheduled times below. In addition, every day from Oct. 13 to 15, the members of the expert panel attached to that day’s session will be on-site for about 1½ hours. This will be the perfect time to stop by if you have a burning question to ask or want to dig a

bit deeper. The panelists will be on-site at the following times: 10:20 to 12:00 on the 13th; 08:15 to 09:45 on the 14th, and 10:20

to 12:00 on the 15th. Whether you attend a presentation, an on-site panel, or both, this one-of-a-kind Anatomy Session should not be

missed!

In case you didn’t notice, three out of the four “Help Me, Master!” sessions will be held in RM 13 (201). This same room will also host other special sessions that are making debut appearances here at APHRS 2016, like the Step-Up Session and Ongoing Challenges & Innovation Session. And a How-To Session and several Device Case Presentation Sessions are also on the agenda for RM 13 (201). Is it just a scheduling fluke, or there something special about this venue? In fact, there is! With a forest of comfy beanbags and low stools encircling them, this room perhaps best epitomizes the “formality-free” setting that the LOC envisioned. It’s designed to get participants to open up, talking and sharing ideas with their peers (not during speeches, of course.) Check out RM 13 (201), and prepare to be inspired.

Among EP doctors, mentoring is deemed as or more important than other kinds of medical study. The “Help Me, Master!” session is designed to allow younger cardiologists to comfortably seek advice and guidance from their more experienced master colleagues. “For a beginning EP, the senior and master is the star. They have a lot of knowledge and experience, so they can provide a new road for the beginner,” said one Korean APHRS member. “By my memory, to meet a master also gives inspiration to the younger EP doctor to study, and to find their future. So this [session] will be very helpful.”

The session is set up in a Q-and-A format, in which the panelists (the younger physicians) first present their questions and difficulties; and the masters respond with targeted comments or advice. There are other, informal venues at APHRS 2016 where beginners and masters may cross paths, but this is the only structured session of this kind here in Seoul. There’s another benefit hidden in this format: beginning EP doctors will have the chance to meet and interact with their peers at a similar stage in their career. Though beginners are the target group, cardiologists and other arrhythmia specialists of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.

Months, or in some cases years, after embarking on their research journey, a field of over 500 “young investigators” or YIs has been narrowed down to twelve finalists, named below. After painstaking evaluations, APHRS faculty have named six finalists each in the Basic and Clinical category. Because so many talented abstracts were put forth, selecting them was not an easy task.These ambitious young scientists — so named because most are under age 40 — have reached the penultimate stage in the YIA competition. And today, they’ll reach for the top rung, by presenting their topics before a team of expert judges. The winners of the Young Investigator Awards (YIA) —actually a winner and a runner-up in each category —will be announced at Saturday’s Closing Ceremony. All are welcome to attend and listen to the YIA presentations.
