6th Annual

Bridging brain, heart, and innovation in patient care.

BRAIN-HEART & NEUROMODULATION
SYMPOSIUM

Scottsdale, Arizona

March 13–14, 2026

Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia

Why this Symposium?

The Brain & Heart Symposium is designed to fill a critical gap in modern medicine: the interface between neuroscience, cardiology, and neuromodulation. While cardiologists and neurologists have long recognized the bidirectional influence between the brain and the heart, few forums bring these disciplines together with the latest science, clinical applications, and emerging therapies.

Here’s why this meeting matters:

  • Unique focus on neurocardiology and neuromodulation: No other symposium brings together leaders in both electrophysiology and neuroscience to explore how brain–heart connections can be targeted for better outcomes.

  • Rapidly evolving field: Neuromodulatory therapies (vagal nerve stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, targeted ablation, and device-based interventions) are moving from theory to real-world clinical use. Clinicians need an integrated view to stay ahead.

  • Bridging research and practice: Attendees will see how cutting-edge trial data, mechanistic insights, and device innovations translate into practical strategies for arrhythmia, heart failure, and autonomic disorders.

  • Multidisciplinary collaboration: This symposium creates a shared space for cardiologists, neurologists, EP specialists, and industry innovators to exchange ideas and shape the future of patient care.

  • Patient-centered innovation: At its core, the meeting highlights how understanding the brain–heart axis can transform outcomes in conditions ranging from AFib to heart failure to cognitive decline.

We’re not just another cardiology or neuroscience meeting — this is where the future of integrative therapeutics is being written.

Course Learning Objectives

Redefining the frontier where cardiology meets neuroscience with therapies that heal through rhythm and connection

● Understand the Bidirectional Brain–Heart Connection

Describe the mechanisms through which the autonomic nervous system influences cardiac rhythm and function.

Recognize how cardiac disease impacts brain health and cognitive performance.

● Explore Cutting-Edge Neuromodulation Therapies

Review the science and clinical applications of vagal nerve stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, and other neuromodulatory techniques.

Discuss emerging device-based strategies for treating arrhythmias, heart failure, and hypertension.

● Advance Knowledge in Clinical Neurocardiology

Evaluate case studies highlighting neurogenic contributions to syncope, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death.

Identify diagnostic tools (imaging, biomarkers, electrophysiology testing) that bridge neurology and cardiology.

● Chart the Future of Brain–Heart Therapeutics

Identify gaps in current treatment strategies and opportunities for innovation.

Explore ethical, regulatory, and reimbursement considerations in bringing neuromodulatory devices to wider clinical adoption.
