Regional Sessions:
The development and implementation of preventive measures to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease is a challenge in several fields. Due to the proximity to the European Headquarters of the World Health Organisation (WHO), the World Heart Federation (WHF), the United European Football Association (UEFA), and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), sessions on Thursday afternoon will focus on activities these organisations are actively pursuing. These activities include measures to prevent sudden cardiac death in adult and child athletes. Additional presentations on prevention programmes in the corporate world and the future of the cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation in the area will be offered.
