Welcome to the European Society of Cardiology. Our mission: to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Europe
 
ESC Congress 2009

Satellite Symposia

Delegates are cordially 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 59 Industry Sponsored Satellite Symposia organised by our industry partners in 2009.
