Call for Abstracts

The Society is devoted to the advancement of electrocardiography through the application of computer methods. Its annual scientific conference brings together scientists, clinicians, engineers and policy makers working in the field. Since the conference is designed to stimulate the informal exchange of ideas and information, attendance is limited to approximately 135 participants and the meeting site is selected to be comfortable but somewhat secluded.

Topics of '09 Conference

  • Computerized P-wave analysis
  • Electrocardiology in telemedicine
  • Solutions for cleaner ECG data: leads, filtering.
  • Resynchronization therapy and ECG changes
  • Left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiac remodeling.
  • Heart rate dynamics, turbulence, deceleration capacity
  • Descriptors of STT-complex: diagnostic yield and technical caveats
  • Genetic syndromes, mutations and polymorphisms in Electrocardiology
  • Holter-based analysis of T wave alternans and QT variability
  • Stress-test ECG: high-resolution QRS/alternans/restitution
  • ECG in neurocardiology: central and autonomic effects
  • ECG in sudden cardiac death risk stratification
  • ECG imaging technologies
ABSTRACTS may be submitted on the above or related topics. Abstracts must be submitted online to the conference chair, Wojciech Zareba (wojciech.zareba@heart.rochester.edu), no later than 1 December 2008.

Please follow these instructions to submit abstracts for ISCE '09.


ALSO FEATURING: JOS WILLEMS YOUNG INVESTIGATORS COMPETITION

The JWYI competition is open to current students in an academic degree program; to interns, residents, or fellows in medical training; and to anyone who has received their highest academic degree (or, for MDs, completed their residency) within the four years prior to the Conference (proof required). Young investigators whose submissions are ranked the highest by a panel of judges will be invited as finalists to present their work orally at the Conference (and will receive travel reimbursement); an additional panel of judges will decide the winner. All other Jos Willems Young Investigator submitters will be invited to present their work as a poster at the conference; if they attend and present they will receive a reduced comprehensive conference fee based on the rate that is available to regular ISCE attendees. Previous finalists may re-apply only once; previous winners of the competition are not eligible to re-apply.

JWYI competition entrants may submit only 1 abstract.

ABSTRACTS must follow the guidelines above and be submitted online to the JWYI chair, Konrad Brockmeier (k.brockmeier@uni-koeln.de), no later than 1 December 2008.


Deadline for All Abstracts: December 1st, 2008.
