Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We would like to invite you to attend EuroPRevent 2011, the meeting place for scientists and experts engaged in preventive cardiology. This sixth congress will be organised by the European Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (EACPR) from 14-16 April 2011 in Geneva, Switzerland. This year’s theme of the congress will be “Cardiovascular Prevention a global challenge – from science to practice”.
During the two and half day meeting, experts will discuss and present fascinating achievements in cardiovascular prevention obtained either in basic and translational science or in the implementation or recommendation of therapeutic strategies.
On Thursday afternoon, please join us for the Opening Ceremony followed by an informal get together in the Exhibition Area. This offers an opportunity to meet new and old friends in a relaxed atmosphere and to share news on the most recent accomplishments.
On Friday and Saturday the programme is dedicated to exciting presentations of scientific results in 4 tracks including new developments in sports cardiology, latest scientific achievements in cardiovascular prevention, implementations and recommendations to attack cardiovascular disease, and “how to” sessions. The congress includes a Young Investigator Award Session and all poster presentations will be discussed onsite by experts in the field.
Geneva was carefully chosen as host city not only for its location on Lake Geneva at the foot of the Alps, but also for being close to the European Headquarters of the United Nations (UN) the World Heart Federation (WHF), the World Health Organisation (WHO), the United European Football Association (UEFA), and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
We are looking forward to welcoming all of you to the EuroPRevent meeting in Geneva.
Pantaleo Giannuzzi, President of the European Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation
