Governance

The ESC is governed by an elected board comprising 34 volunteer cardiovascular experts. Our activities are overseen by 22 committees whose activities are delivered by over 2,000 expert cardiology volunteers.

The ESC employs staff to support its professional volunteers in the development, production and management of these activities. This staff is managed by a chief executive officer who reports to the president and management group of the ESC Board.
