Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center hosts international conference on complex cardiac arrhythmias

EPLive 2026 included 1,600 of the world’s top cardiac electrophysiology experts

AUSTIN, Texas, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (TCAI) at St. David’s Medical Center hosted its eighth international symposium on complex arrhythmias on May 28-29, 2026. This year’s event hosted a record 1,600 participants from around the globe, including attendees from Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia and Italy. Of those participants, 200 attended in person.

 

EP Live 2026

EPLive participants included physicians, advanced practice registered nurses and allied health professionals with an interest in treating complex cardiac arrhythmias, a condition in which the heart beats with an irregular or abnormal rhythm. The primary teaching tool was live cases with expert commentary broadcast from the state-of-the-art Electrophysiology Center at St. David’s Medical Center.

“The record number of participants at EPLive 2026 is a reflection of the growing demand for practical, case-based education and collaboration,” Andrea Natale, M.D., F.H.R.S., F.A.C.C., F.E.S.C., cardiac electrophysiologist and executive medical director of TCAI and EPLive course director, said. “By sharing knowledge, innovation and experience in that setting, we help accelerate advancements in cardiovascular care and improve outcomes for the millions of people worldwide living with heart arrhythmias.”

Live cases performed during the two-day event highlighted new technologies and techniques pioneered by physicians at TCAI. Among the technologies featured was a more streamlined approach that combined two treatments—atrial fibrillation (A Fib) ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO)—into a single procedure for patients with A Fib who are at a higher risk of stroke, reducing the need for multiple procedures and minimizing complications. Physicians also showcased the latest innovations with pulsed field ablation, a non-thermal ablation that delivers short-duration, high-energy electrical pulses to the cardiac tissue to destroy cells that cause irregular heart rhythms without excess heat or cold.

EPLive featured four sessions, consisting of a combination of live and recorded cases from TCAI, in addition to some of the premier centers in countries across the globe: Colombia (International Arrhythmia Center at Cardioinfantil Foundation), Italy (Centro Cardiologico Monzino) and United States (Cleveland Clinic; Houston Methodist; Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute; Massachusetts General; Montefiore Einstein; St. Bernard’s Heart and Vascular Center; UC Health Center; University of Pennsylvania).

Along with Dr. Natale, EPLive featured presentations by several TCAI physicians, including course co-director Amin Al-Ahmad, M.D., as well as John Allison, M.D., Khaled Awad, M.D., Mohamed Bassiouny, M.D., David Burkhardt, M.D., David Burkland, M.D., Robert Canby, M.D., Joseph Gallinghouse, M.D., Rodney Horton, M.D., Patrick Hranitzky, M.D., and Jason Zagrodzky, M.D.

Physicians received a maximum of 14.5 American Medical Association (AMA) Physician’s Recognition Award (PRA) Category 1 Credit™ hours at the conference.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 June 2026 – Recently, SCNet.AI (www.scnet.ai) headquartered in Hong Kong has officially launched as a global AI&HPC computing service platform. With an e-commerce-style operational model, the platform redefines how AI for Science (AI4S) computing resources are accessed, enabling researchers worldwide to access AI, supercomputing applications and diverse compute resources as seamlessly as online shopping.

Putting Scientific Research Agents Within Reach — SCNet.AI Accelerates AI4S Innovation Powered by AI & HPC
Putting Scientific Research Agents Within Reach — SCNet.AI Accelerates AI4S Innovation Powered by AI & HPC

Simplifying Innovation: From Bioinformatics to Industrial Simulation

SCNet.AI is positioned to bridge supply and demand for computing resources and unify an ecosystem of research software, delivering user-friendly research computing and scientific large model innovation environments for global research institutes, enterprises and independent developers.

SCNet.AI covers three core research scenarios:

  • Life Science & Bioinformatics: Tailored for biopharma firms and universities;
  • Industrial Manufacturing: CFD fluid simulation and FEA finite element analysis for automotive and semiconductor sectors;
  • Physical & Chemical Research: Molecular dynamics simulation for researchers in materials and new energy sectors.

Built around the integrated development philosophy of “data, computing power, models and applications”,SCNet.AI addresses pain points of open-source large models including difficult deployment, high usage costs and complicated adaptation, and provides end-to-end technical support from environment deployment to task tuning, substantially lowering the operational barrier for researchers to access AI4S computing resources.

E-commerce-style Operational Model: Instant Access & Elastic Scheduling

SCNet.AI’s standout innovation lies in its proprietary AI4S application marketplace model. Much like mainstream e-commerce platforms that connect physical goods buyers and sellers, SCNet.AI matches computing power, datasets, research models and industry applications with researchers.

This model delivers three distinct competitive advantages:

  • Instant on-demand access. All software is delivered via SaaS, while research AI agents are deployed under MaaS. Users can run tools online after subscription without local downloading, installation or maintenance.
  • Elastic scaling. Computing resources can be precisely allocated on demand for workloads ranging from simulation calculations to large model training.

These resources can support dozens of inference runs for mainstream foundation models, lightweight model fine-tuning, or complete end-to-end CFD and molecular dynamics simulation experiments.

This promotion is valid from June 23 to July 23, 2026 and open exclusively to first-time registrants. Each new account entity is entitled to claim the resource kit only once. All redeemed resources expire 90 days after collection. Quantities are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until exhausted.
