• Canadian Heart Rhythm Society (CHRS): CHRS is Canada's national EP society and a direct peer — also a co-author of the EHRA/HRS/APHRS/LAHRS/CHRS Pulsed Field Ablation scientific statement, sharing supranational society characteristics.
• Sociedad Mexicana de Electrofisiología y Estimulación Cardíaca (SOMEEC): SOMEEC is Mexico's national EP society and a peer/competitor; it is co-hosting the LAHRS 2026 Congress in Mexico City and serves overlapping electrophysiologist members within LAHRS's footprint.
• Sociedad Latinoamericana de Estimulación Cardíaca y Electrofisiología (SOLAECE): SOLAECE is a competing Latin American society with a similar regional mission, also involved in guideline endorsement and EP training — directly comparable to LAHRS in scope and geography.

Broad incumbents

• Heart Rhythm Society (HRS): HRS is the largest US-based cardiac electrophysiology society and a direct global peer of LAHRS. They co-develop guidelines, share joint congress sessions, and offer reciprocal member registration discounts.
• Asia-Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS): APHRS is the regional EP society for Asia-Pacific, co-developing consensus statements with LAHRS (e.g., 3D mapping systems, Pulsed Field Ablation) and operating a similar supranational society model.
