2.
Live Congress Reports = reports provided on-site by ESC opinion leaders
| Virtual coverage of ESC Congress 2007 in Vienna is rich and articulate: ESC Congress Reports, now in its 7th edition, continues this year, aimed at providing a snapshot of the Congress proceedings. This service is intended specially for cardiologists, unable to attend the meeting, or individual sessions. It may however, also serve as a reference after the event. |
 |
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.
Who are the authors behind the scenes? Last year’s “who’s who” story provides you with an insight of the panel of authoritative professionals in cardiology that were asked to report on their respective field of expertise in order to provide first-hand, unbiased scientific information.
3. Video News reports = interviews conducted live at Congress
 |
The Video News Reports will aim to cover 7 topics/themes included in the official ESC Congress 2007 programme.
Opinion leaders will be interviewed about a topic in their area of expertise by an MVS reporter and asked to summarize the main findings presented.
You will be able to view them online or easily download them on your Mp3 player.
Check these seven topics/themes retained this year, with their matching interviewees' names. The full programme will be disclosed shortly on our website. |
