The on-site competition will be conducted in two rounds and the final winners in each category will be announced and receive certificates at the closing ceremony of APHRS 2025.

Guidelines for Submission

1. The category of case submission (ECG, EGM or CIED) should be clearly indicated during submission.
2. The category of submission should be decided by the presenter based on where the main focus of the case lies. For instance, an “ECG” category case may have an EGM as part of the presentation; however the main feature or unique point of the case should rest in the ECG. Similarly, ECGs may be shown as part of a “Device tracing” case; however the main or unique feature of the case should be the device tracing(s).
3. The presentation should be prepared in PowerPoint, (with no more than 5 slides, apart from the title slide and presenters’ details slide), converted to PDF and uploaded in PDF format in the submission website.
4. The presentation itself should not contain any identification details of the presenters’ name, institution or country in order to enable anonymous grading. The presenters’ details will be entered in a separate slide apart from the presentation slides.
5. The last date for submission to the “best of the best” case competition is April 23, 2025, noon (JST).
