What to expect
This programme will present lectures, case discussions and workshops on acute chest pain, ischemic heart disease and cardiomyopathies. International faculty members François Pontana, Federica Catapano and Marco Francone will lead sessions covering imaging strategies, CT and cardiac MR integration, tissue characterisation, clinical decision-making and multimodality approaches in complex cardiac conditions.
Accreditation
Applications will be made to the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) for CME accreditation of this event.
We work with impartiality and transparency. Find the steering committee disclosure forms here →
