Dear new members, dear colleagues,
On behalf of the WG Board and Nucleus members, it is my great pleasure to welcome you each as a member of the Working Group on Myocardial Function of the European Society of Cardiology (WG4).
From now on and periodically you will receive practical information regarding the activities and the upcoming meetings of the Working Group. We look forward to working with you in the years to come.
Your personal active engagement in the scientific life of the Working Group will be most appreciated.
Thanking you in advance for your contribution,
Best wishes,
Prof. Ajay SHAH, FESC
Chairman of WG4 |
The Working Group on Myocardial Function (WG 4) is among the earliest Working Groups of the ESC and was founded more than 40 years ago.
The idea of the founders was to create a platform in which both basic and clinically-oriented scientists with interests in all aspects of myocardial function could meet in a friendly and stimulating atmosphere.
This remains the current ethos of the WG which focuses on the molecular, cellular and integrative mechanisms underlying physiological function and malfunction of the heart.
We therefore believe that our Working Group is the ideal one for anyone interested in applying knowledge of fundamental cellular and molecular processes to the integrative biology of the heart, both experimentally and clinically.
The special character of this Working Group might be best exemplified by the annual winter meeting where both young and established scientists present and share their data in a highly interactive and stimulating environment, resulting in many fruitful discussions and collaborations.
Taken together, our Working Group offers a unique combination of excellent state-of-the-art science, fun, friendship and collaboration.
