I am sad to inform you that ESC Preventive Cardiology 2020, the scientific congress of the European Association for Preventive Cardiology scheduled for 2-4 April in Malaga, is cancelled.
The ESC and EAPC leadership have been following closely the rapid spread of COVID-19 and its impact. Increasingly severe measures are being put in place to limit the spread of the virus as physicians and hospitals deal with a pandemic.
More than 50% of our congress faculty has informed us that they will be unable to attend – and that number will only grow. With so many of you on the front lines of the current health crisis, we know you have other priorities and we offer our support and solidarity to all of you.
As I write this message, it is unclear what additional measures the Spanish Government will impose on the city of Malaga. Events of more than 1,000 are already banned in Madrid, parts of the Basque country and La Rioja.
Given our inability to assure a faculty presence, coupled with more elaborate restrictions in Spain, and of course the health of our faculty, delegates and staff, cancelling our congress is the only responsible course of action.
We are now discussing how we will move forward. We will keep you updated as information becomes available.
Check the FAQ webpage to get answers to your questions.
On behalf of the EAPC Executive Board and the Congress Chair, Prof. Ana Abreu, thank you for your understanding and steadfast support.
Paul DendaleEAPC President 2018 - 2020

More information
We have received complaints about a growing number of fraudulent websites masquerading as the ESC and offering registration, hotel bookings and other arrangements for the upcoming ESC Congresses. Many of these sites charge significant commissions.
We are also aware of some companies cold calling Congress delegates, using data which has not been provided by ESC.
These are not third party providers to the ESC and are not linked to the ESC in any way.
We strongly recommend that anyone attending the congress use only the official ESC website for registration and accommodation requests: www.escardio.org
If you are contacted by any such agency or have any questions regarding their legitimacy please do not hesitate to contact us at registration@escardio.org or by telephone +33 4 89 87 76 12
