The European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) aims at contributing to the Mission of the ESC by developing a platform of clinical and scientific exchange between all health care professionals involved with percutaneous interventions.
The objectives and activities stem from the synergy between the assets of EuroPCR and the former ESC Working Group on Interventional Cardiology. Specifically :
- The EAPCI contributes actively to the programme of the yearly EuroPCR course, which has become its offical annual meeting.
- The EuroIntervention Journal continue to aim at presenting the best of research and education in our field, including case presentations in lively electronic format.
- Training, accreditation and Fellowship programmes are the main focus of the Association and are being expanded, in close collaboration with the National Working Groups of Invasive Cardiology throughout Europe, and abroad.
- Finally, the EAPCI contributes with enthousiasm to all activities of the ESC, as they pertain to revascularization and other percutaneous interventions, only to name the contributions to the Annual ESC Meeting, the Euro Heart Survey programme, preparation and implementation of Guidelines.
Across all activities, EAPCI aims to foster a close and mature collaboration with industry partners, based on a clearly defined code of conduct. Post-graduate education, improving patient access to device-based therapies and promoting clinical research represent obvious areas of common and shared interest.
