AIAC

The Italian Association of Arrhythmology and Cardiac Pacing (AIAC) is a scientific organization focused on the study and treatment of heart rhythm disorders in Italy. It connects clinical research with everyday medical practice, supporting specialist development and promoting high standards of care for people with cardiac arrhythmias.

AIAC provides healthcare professionals with scientific resources, including clinical guidelines, consensus documents, research data, registries, and safety information. Its subject areas span clinical arrhythmology, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, syncope, electrophysiology, catheter ablation, cardiac pacing, defibrillators, and digital health. The association also offers continuing medical education courses, webinars, regional events, and a national congress, alongside grants, fellowships, and competence programs for nurses and technicians.

For patients, AIAC shares accessible, medically informed guidance on prevention, arrhythmias, and living with implanted cardiac devices. Its resources include frequently asked questions, information about patient rights and informed consent, and guidance on topics such as exercise and driving with a pacemaker. Through these professional and public-facing services, AIAC supports education, research, and informed heart care.
