Welcome to the European Society of Cardiology. Our mission: to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Europe
 

Lunch Time Workshops

Delegates are invited to Industry Sponsored Sessions as part of the ESC Congress 2009 scientific programme

Cooperation between clinicians, researchers and the pharmaceutical and technical industries has significantly contributed to a better understanding and management of patients with cardiovascular diseases.

This is reflected in a series of 22 Industry Sponsored Lunch Time Workshops which allow interactive discussion, devoted questions and if desired, current practice of medical devices equipment and other themes relevant to the control and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
