There’s a special kind of energy that builds as the Heart Rhythm Society Annual Scientific Sessions approach—and this year, that energy is headed to Chicago.
For those of us who practice cardiac electrophysiology, device management, and perioperative rhythm care, HRS is more than just a conference. It’s where innovation is unveiled, controversies are debated, guidelines are shaped, and collaborations begin.
And this year is particularly exciting.
Why HRS Matters
The HRS Scientific Sessions represent the global epicenter of:
-
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs)
-
Atrial fibrillation management
-
Lead extraction
-
Mapping and ablation technologies
-
Emerging device algorithms and AI integration
-
Multidisciplinary rhythm care
It’s where cardiologists, electrophysiologists, industry leaders, and researchers converge to move the field forward.
With rapid advancements in conduction system pacing, subcutaneous ICDs, leadless technologies, and remote monitoring, the 2026 meeting promises to be packed with data that will shape how we care for patients in operating rooms, EP labs, and procedural suites across the country.
Chicago: The Perfect Backdrop
Hosted in the heart of Chicago at McCormick Place, the meeting brings together world-class science with a world-class city.
From skyline views along Lake Michigan to late-night discussions over deep-dish pizza, Chicago provides the perfect setting for reconnecting with colleagues and sparking new ideas.
There’s something uniquely energizing about stepping out of a late-breaking session and into a city that never stops moving.
We’re Exhibiting!
We’re especially thrilled to share that Rhythm Management LLC will have an exhibitor booth at HRS this year.
For us, this is more than just a booth—it’s a milestone.
As cardiac device management becomes increasingly complex across perioperative and procedural environments, there’s a growing need for practical, accessible tools that support real-time clinical decision-making and interdisciplinary communication.
If you’re attending HRS, we would love for you to stop by, connect, and share how you’re navigating rhythm management challenges in your own practice. Some of the best ideas start with hallway conversations—and we’re looking forward to many of them.
Collaboration Is the Future
One of the most exciting trends in recent years has been the growing collaboration between cardiology and anesthesiology in device management and perioperative planning. As surgical volume increases and patients present with more complex implanted devices, communication between teams is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Meetings like HRS are where these bridges are built.
Whether you’re presenting research, exploring the exhibit hall, reconnecting with mentors, or attending your first HRS meeting, this is a moment to be inspired by how far the field has come—and how much further it’s about to go.
See You in Chicago
The countdown is on.
We’re looking forward to cutting-edge science, meaningful conversations, and an unforgettable week in Chicago. And we’re proud to be part of the exhibitor community helping drive the next chapter of rhythm management forward.
If you’ll be there, come say hello.
Chicago, here we come.
The HRS meeting will be held April 23-26, 2026.
