2023 AF Symposium
My Summary Reports Written for Atrial Fibrillation Patients
by Steve S. Ryan, PhD
The 28th Annual International AF Symposium took place Feb. 2-4, 2023 at the new Omni Hotel at the Seaport in Boston. Featured were presentations by 82+ leaders in AF research and clinical practice from all over the world. These stellar medical scientists, clinicians, and researchers share recent developments in the A-Fib field in a major scientific forum unmatched by any other conference.
As always, I attend and write my reports to offer A-Fib.com readers the most up-to-date research and developments that may impact their treatment choices. All my reports are written in plain language for A-Fib patients and their families. Look for my reports here with links to the specific reports.

From Dr. Jeremy Ruskin of Mass. General Hospital and Harvard Medical School:
“Steve Ryan’s summaries of the A-Fib Symposium are terrific. Steve has the ability to synthesize and communicate accurately in clear and simple terms the essence of complex subjects. This is an exceptional skill and a great service to patients with atrial fibrillation.”
