ESC Congress Reports 2010

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...

Celebrating 10 editions of ESC Congress Reports!

Thank you to all the volunteer cardiologists who have supported this initiative over the last decade. The Congress reports are one of the most popular elements of the ESC Congress. This year there is an extended number of sessions and we plan to continue covering the best of the Congress for you.

Professor Lino Gonçalves, FESCTo ensure that you receive the top scientific information ‘hot off the press,’ we have elite cardiologists reporting on their individual fields of expertise. These cardiologists are among the best from across Europe and the world and we are grateful that they are able to act as reporters for the ESC. They will cover the most important symposia, Hot Lines and trials as they happen.

Not all the sessions will be available in slide format but webcasts will be provided as soon as they become available, usually within 24 hours.
