FAFA – Frankfurt Academy for Arrhythmias

Dear colleagues and friends,
it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 16th edition of FAFA – the Frankfurt Academy for Arrhythmias.

This year’s symposium brings together an outstanding international faculty of leading experts in cardiac electrophysiology, reflecting the rapid evolution and growing global relevance of our field. FAFA 2026 continues to serve as a dynamic platform for the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge, innovative technologies, and practical clinical experience in modern rhythm management. The 2026 program has been carefully designed to address the most relevant developments in atrial fibrillation management and interventional stroke prevention.

Highlights include:

• State-of-the-art updates on atrial fibrillation ablation in 2026
• Critical perspectives on lifestyle modification and patient pathways such as same-day discharge
• In-depth discussions on stroke prophylaxis and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) strategies
• A comprehensive series of live cases showcasing the latest advances in pulmonary vein isolation, pulsed field ablation (PFA), and repeat ablation techniques
• Cutting-edge technologies including AI-guided ablation, novel catheter designs, and dual-energy approaches
• A keynote session bridging translational science and clinical application in pulsed field ablation
• NEW: FAFA Educational

With a strong emphasis on real-world application, innovation, and interactive learning, FAFA 2026 offers a unique opportunity to gain practical insights into current and future standards of care. Our live case sessions and expert discussions are designed to foster critical thinking, exchange of ideas, and open dialogue on controversial topics. Beyond the scientific program, FAFA remains a place to connect with colleagues from around the world, strengthen professional relationships, and inspire new collaborations within the electrophysiology community. We are delighted to welcome you to Frankfurt and look forward to an inspiring and engaging meeting.

Warm regards,
Prof. Dr. B. Schmidt & Prof. Dr. KR. J. Chun
