27 November 2007

Dear collegue,

In this edition the ESC Guidelines department shows they are definitely not on strike as they issue yet another slide-set to set the pace in terms of devices.

Switzerland delivers their article on the dot to allow us to enjoy another "ESC Founding Fathers" article.

Professor Petr Widimsky alerts us that "only rarely do the doctors actually analyse the circumstances which have brought on the arrhythmia" and that "avoiding these triggering circumstances might help in preventing future attacks" in the latest E-journal.

The Journals team are concerned that your journal might not be delivered if you don't take the necessary steps to adjust your address if needs be.

Be the first to know - the congress team are bending backwards to build the ESC Congress 2008 section in time for 17 December so welcome their efforts by visiting their brand new pages on that date.
