The Cardiac Electrophysiology Society (CES) is an international society of basic and clinical scientists and physicians interested in cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias.
The society meets once a year on the day preceding the annual scientific sessions of the American Heart Association. The day is devoted to presentations by leading experts in areas of research representing the cutting edge of new developments.
A featured speaker, the Gordon K. Moe Lecturer, is selected each year to lead off the symposium. All members are invited to attend.
Membership entitles you to attend our annual Scientific Symposium/Reception and a 10% discount to Heart Rhythm, the official journal of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Society.
