Programme of the international workshop on non pharmacological treatment of cardiac arrhythmias: present and future. A potential application for biomagnetic imaging, Rome (Italy), December 9–11, 1990

This article is the report of an International Symposium endorsed by the European Society of Cardiology, held within the Venice Arrhythmias 2007: 10th International Workshop on Cardiac Arrhythmias (Venice, October 2007). The topics of the Symposium are the following: how to stratify the risk of sudden death in the athletes; the role of different diagnostic examinations in the risk stratification of sudden death in the athletes; controversies on arrhythmias and sport; and exercise prescription in patients with arrhythmias.

Or Task

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is the production of electrically elicited muscle contractions to perform a function or task. It has been used as a method to regain lost body functions or support weak body functions, and as such, has been clinically available since the early seventies. Some methods are applied routinely while others have not been translated to the bedside, or are still largely restricted to laboratory use. Progress in this field might be achieved by a strong cooperation of patients, clinicians, therapists and engineers. A better insight into multiple perspectives may help in understanding the shortcomings of current FES technology. This will help direct future research efforts into design of systems and potential application in relevant populations. In addition, these findings can assist with the translation of FES technology into a community context. We outline an interview protocol designed for use at the 12th Vienna International Workshop on Functional Electrical Stimulation where the mentioned experts from the field of FES met.
