The Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society ( APHRS ) has grown very rapidly and efficiently after its founding in 2008. The success of our organization and rapid growth was due to the enthusiastic support by pioneer electrophysiologists and efforts by many physicians to cure heart rhythm disorders. With the experience of preceding arrhythmia symposia of inter‐cities or international basis in the region, the organization could quickly grow to become APHRS . The mission of APHRS is to promote basic research and improve clinical practice, optimize care of patients with heart rhythm disorders, and to train and encourage young physicians to actively participate and promote the activity of our society.
