Four abstracts explore novel strategies in electrophysiology, including a randomized trial on beta-blockers for vasovagal syncope, registry-based insights into early repolarization syndrome, and a neural network model for diagnosing inherited arrhythmias like ARVC and LQTS. The session highlights how clinical research and AI are advancing arrhythmia care.
