ACC, HRS form Cardiosource partnership for CV professionals

The American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) have formed a new collaboration to deliver free, unlimited access to Cardiosource's Arrhythmias and Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Clinical Collections containing up-to-date information for cardiology professionals.

Cardiosource is the ACC's online portal for cardiovascular news, information and education. HRS will contribute to ACCF's editorial content and information posted in the Cardiosource Arrhythmias and AF Clinical Collections. Also, HRS volunteer Kenneth Ellenbogen, MD, will serve as the guest editor for both Clinical Collections.

The partnership will provide education to the general cardiologist about electrophysiology issues, according to Chris Cannon, MD, editor-in-chief of Cardiosource.

Features of the Arrhythmias and AF Clinical Collections include: HeartRhythm Journal highlights; full-text searchability of HeartRhythm journal (Coming Soon); Cardiosource video network; case studies; expert opinions; clinical trials; downloadable slide sets; guidelines and quality standards; news summaries; and journal articles/abstracts.
