Submission Deadline: Submissions are now closed

Abstract Authors

Abstract authors include four different categories:

1. First Author: the author who submitted the abstract and to whom all correspondence from VeniceArrhythmias 2022 will be sent. The First Author may not be the Presenting Author.
2. Presenting Author: the author who will present the abstract. Please make sure that the corresponding author updates the Presenter about communication from the Organizing Secretariat.
3. Co-Authors: the rest of the authors in an abstract’s author string.
   In order to have correct information in the indices and the website of VeniceArrhythmias 2022, author names in multiple abstracts have to be consistent. For example: Robert Grant belongs to the author string of more abstracts, the name R. Grant must be written this way in all abstracts and not in different ways, such as Rob Grant, Grant Rob…
4. Affiliations: short affiliation is required for each author or group of authors, including Department, Institution, City and Country. Please do not insert authors’ names and affiliations in the .doc document you are required to upload.

The indication of the preferable presentation type (Oral Communication / Poster) is mandatory.

The final allocation of the abstract will be decided by the Abstract Selection Committee taking into consideration your preference.

Abstract must be submitted electronically only via the Abstract Submission Form. An acknowledgement of the receipt of the abstract will be sent automatically by e-mail to the presenting author upon the on-line submission.
