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

ESC Congress Reports 2011

Live reports on selected sessions from the ESC Congress in Paris by some of Europe's finest cardiologists...

Written by chairpersons about the session they moderated, these reports summarise the scientific content and share their conclusion with you. These articles become available during the ESC Congress as reporters usually submit their report immediately after the session.

Many thanks to all our volunteer reporters! 
We really appreciate your valuable contribution to this key project.
