Overview: The Lambeth Conventions is guidance paper for basic and clinical antiarrhythmic research. It was generated from a meeting held in London in 1987, and published in Cardiovascular Research. The paper is the journal’s most highly cited of all time (701 cites as of Oct 2009). The 2010 meeting updated the Lambeth Conventions in the light of advances during the past 20 years. Lambeth Palace was the venue for the original Lambeth Conventions meeting in 1987, so it is fitting that it was convened there again.
Programme: The programme consisted of state-of-the-art presentations by leaders in the field. Faculty included: GE Billman (Columbus, OH, USA), AJ Camm (London, UK), H Clements-Jewery (Lewisburg, WV, USA), MJ Curtis (London, UK), N Gaborit (San Francisco, CA, USA), A Farkas (Szeged, Hungary), JC Hancox (Bristol, UK), MJ Janse (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), MK Pugsley (Raritan, NJ, USA), D Roden (Nashville, TN, USA), MJ Shattock (London, UK), CL Stables (Ann Arbor, MI, USA), MJA Walker (Vancouver BC, Canada), AAM Wilde (Amsterdam, The Netherlands).
