At the heart of the ESC's mission are its volunteers—passionate professionals whose generosity, time, and expertise make our scientific programme possible.

We honour and deeply thank each one for helping advance cardiovascular science and care.

The Scientific Programme Committee is working hard putting together a programme with the latest science and practical tracks presented by international leading experts.
