Kansas City Heart Rhythm Symposium (KCHRS), the annual heart rhythm symposium of the Kansas City area returned back in its 5th year to a fantastic reception from the audiences who have been eagerly waiting for this event. Since its inception in 2009, this event has become a great success story and is becoming bigger and better with each passing year. This conference is a great platform that brings together experts in the field of electrophysiology to share their innovative work and experience with other health care providers in the Midwest area. Dr. Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, Professor of Medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center was the course director for this year’s KCHRS. We bring to you the highlights and presentations from the 5th KCHRS held on August 17-18, 2013 at Sheraton Kansas City Hotel, Crown Center Kansas City.
