CardioPulse report by K. Huber and K. Krychtiuk

Last year's annual conference of the Acute Cardiovascular Care Association (ACCA) was held in the monumental and imperial surroundings of the Vienna Hofburg from 17 to 19 October, 2015 under the main topic ‘Innovating to Improve Acute Cardiovascular Care’. The ACCA's mission is to improve quality of care and outcomes of patients with acute cardiovascular diseases. Focus is the multi-disciplinary team taking care of the acutely ill patient ranging from pre- and in-hospital stabilization to definitive therapy within the hospital walls.

The multi-disciplinary approach of the association was evidenced by 10 so-called joint sessions with national and international associations and working groups.

Programme highlights
