The Heart Rhythm Society’s Scientific and Clinical Documents Committee has an active role in evaluating clinical documents that will be endorsed by or have been developed by the Society. With the proliferation of new web-based multimedia communication, the Committee has become involved in facilitating development of less traditional learning formats.
For example, did you know that in the last few months the Society has used key points and recommendations from our 2009 lead performance document (189 KB PDF) to produce multimedia offerings that now include webcasts and interviews with the authors?
