Advocating for heart rhythm care, advancing policy, and empowering the EP community for better patient outcomes.

Heart Rhythm Advocates (HRA) is a mission-driven 501(c)(6) organization established as the dedicated advocacy arm of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS). As an independent but affiliated organization, HRA aims to amplify the voice of the global electrophysiology (EP) community by advancing policy initiatives, advocating for heart rhythm care professionals, and ensuring patient access to life-saving arrhythmia treatments. HRA leverages over 45 years of experience and strong relationships built by HRS to address critical issues such as government reimbursement models, new technology adoption, and workforce challenges in EP. With the ability to fundraise and support political activities, HRA is uniquely positioned to drive change in the rapidly evolving field of heart rhythm care.
