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

Slides selection from EUROECHO 2010

8-11 December 2010 - Copenhagen, Denmark

From the high-quality scientific sessions of EUROECHO 2010, the Web Committee of the European Association of Echocardiography (EAE) has made a selection of 83 presentations for members.
This valuable source of information and knowledge have been designed for all specialists in this area of cardiology.
