Activity Description
This e-Satellite symposium explores how rigorous preclinical discovery, clinical validation, and real-world EP performance converge to shape the next generation of arrhythmia care. Faculty highlight how foundational R&D at Boston Scientific informs clinical trial development, drives product evolution, and supports streamlined procedural workflows. The session also reviews real-world safety and efficiency insights from MANIFEST‑US, DISRUPT, and FARADISE, examining observed performance across diverse patient populations and practice settings and discussing how emerging evidence continues to refine clinical practice and optimize outcomes.
