Off to Boston for the 2026 AF Symposium Feb 5-7, 2026
To stay current about advances in the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation, each year I attend the annual International AF Symposium. The AF Symposium is one of the most important scientific conferences on A-Fib in the world. This year the conference is February 5-7, 2026 in Boston.
I have been attending this conference for over 20 years and know many of the speakers and presenters personally.
Over 20 of the presenting cardiologists and electrophysiologists (EPs) serve on the A-Fib.com Advisory Board (see the list here).
Many times, when I coach someone with Atrial Fibrillation, I will refer them to a specific electrophysiologist for the EP’s particular expertise, or for their proximity to the patients’ locale or country.
Current State of the Art in the Field of Atrial Fibrillation: This intensive, highly focused three-day symposium brings together more than 50 of the world’s leading medical scientists, cardiologists and cardiac electrophysiologists (EPs) for a thorough and practical course on the current state of the art in the field of atrial fibrillation.
This meeting is a major scientific forum for health care professionals to learn about advances in research and therapeutics directly from many of the most eminent researchers, scientists and investigators in the field.

Reports for A-Fib.com: I usually attend all of the 50+ presentations, live procedures via video, and panel discussions. I then select the topics of most importance from a patient’s point of view and write summaries for patients with Atrial Fibrillation.
My goal is to offer A-Fib.com readers the most up-to-date research and developments that may impact their treatment choices. Look for my reports in the coming months.
My 2025 Summaries
: In the meantime, you can review my 16 reports from the 2025 AF Symposium.
Caution: If you haven’t read and understood most of the articles on A-Fib.com, it may be difficult reading. (Hint: our Glossary of Terms may be helpful.)
