ESC Congress Reports 2006

Print version

  Virtual coverage of the World Congress of Cardiology 2006 in Barcelona is rich and articulate: ESC Congress Reports, now in its 6th 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. The reports cover some of the most important symposia and are organised following the chronology of the Congress.

Claudio Ceconi, MD, FESC
Editor-in-Chief
