ESC Congress reports

Hot Lines and Clinical Trial Updates: reports

Live reports from the ESC Congress by some of Europe's finest cardiologists, including a selection of slides presentations and webcasts...

Lino Gonçalvès, FESCThis is the 9th edition of the ESC Congress Reports, aimed at providing a snapshot of some of the most important scientific knowledge presented at the Congress.

As with previous editions, in order to provide first-hand, unbiased scientific information, authoritative professionals in cardiology were asked to report on their respective fields of expertise. The ESC is privileged to have some of the finest cardiologists from across Europe and the world acting as reporters for this important project. The reports cover some of the most important symposia, Hot Lines and trials and are organised following the chronology of the Congress.

Please note that slide presentations are not available for all sessions and that webcasts will be added as they become available (in general within 24 hours of the presentation)
