In front of hundreds of spectators, during the annual Heart Rhythm Society Meeting, Pappone performed an AF ablation procedure, by using a simple computer keyboard able to remotely control a magnetically guided ablation catheter. The importance of this event is that new frontiers have been crossed, as physicians can now carry out long-distance heart procedures in any part of the world. This is another significant scientific step forward in mankind welfare. This event can be considered as the beginning of a democratic medicine for everyone, as underdeveloped people countries living can in finally benefit from much more experienced centers by the remote ablative therapy. 8 page 9 Curriculum Vitae Carlo Pappone, MD, PhD Invited Visiting Professor at SIFA hospital April 27, 2007 in Izmir Turky Formal talk on Magnetic Navigation techniques September 27-28, 2007 Invited Visiting Professor, Clinico San Carlos Madrid Spain C/o Professor Martin Lagos January 2-5, 2009 Invited Visiting Professor.

The Academy promotes advances in interventional electrophysiology techniques ensuring these are translated as quickly as possible into healthcare benefits for society. The Academy promotes theory and practice through interactive discussion and comments during live procedure demonstration performed by Dr. Pappone, meetings, and lectures. It has numerous interactions and partnership in Italy and internationally. Collaboration with industry is also undertaken. These training programs are attended annually by interventional electrophysiologists from all around the world. The Academy is accredited by the European Society of Cardiology (EBAC) and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS, USA) and in the past it was accreditated by the Italian Ministry of Health. State of the Art in AFIB Treatments Training course for worldwide Trained Cardiologists, Cardiologists in Training, other Physicians, Nurses and Technicians and Electrophysiologists, at the at the Academy of Arrhythmology San Raffaele University Hospital, Milan, Italy. (a 2-day monthly program since July 2004 on). As the Program is completely based on live sessions of transcatether ablation procedures and implant of systems for cardiac resynchronisation therapy, the attendees can get directly from the operators the most important tips that make simple an electrophysilogy procedure It is supported by Johnson & Johnson. 121 page 122 Curriculum Vitae Carlo Pappone, MD, PhD State of the Art in AFIB Treatments February 15-16, 2005 Dr. Tom Wong England Dr. Šťovíček Czech Republic April 19-20, 2005 Dr. Steen Person Denmark Dr. A.
