Top cardiologists, including Dr. Samuel J. Asirvatham of Mayo Clinic, and Dr. C. Narasimhan of AIG Hospital, bring global perspectives and best practices
Chennai, March 16, 2025: SRM Global Hospitals organised SPACE 2025 – SRM’s Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology Conference, a two-day event held on March 15–16 that brought together over 100 cardiologists from across India to explore the latest advancements in electrophysiology and arrhythmia management.
SPACE 2025 featured eminent international experts such as Dr. Samuel J. Asirvatham from the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, and Dr. C. Narasimhan from AIG Hospital, Hyderabad. These global luminaries, along with leading Indian specialists, delivered insightful lectures and engaged in complex case discussions, greatly enriching the knowledge base of participants.
Commenting on the event, Dr. P. Sathyanarayanan, President, SRM Global Hospitals, said:
“SPACE 2025 aims to elevate the standard of cardiac care in India by convening experts and practitioners, enabling knowledge-sharing and the exploration of innovative technologies. Our hospital is committed to improving outcomes for patients with arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats that have become a significant health concern in India. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common type, impacts approximately 33 million individuals globally and is a leading cause of stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications. In India, anywhere from 2 to 4 million individuals are living with AF.”
Dr. T. R. Muralidharan, Organising Chairman of SPACE 2025 and Director of the Institute of Cardiac Sciences at SRM Global Hospitals, explained that the conference was organised to foster collaboration and disseminate cutting-edge knowledge, ultimately contributing to the advancement of cardiac care in India.
He further noted:
“Although the prevalence of AF across different Indian demographics is relatively lower compared to Western countries, with an aging population and increasing prevalence of risk factors like hypertension and diabetes, the burden of AF in India is expected to rise. In this context, platforms like SPACE play a crucial role in enhancing awareness, early detection, and effective management strategies.”
