ESC in Asia

The ESC has developed collaborative relationships with its cardiac society partners in Asia to make a difference in the prevention, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease on a global scale. To do this, it is extremely important to:

• Exchange for a better understanding of the regional needs and to share the latest worldwide science for best practice to advance the battle against cardiovascular disease.
• Collaborate and strengthen the relationship between Asia Pacific cardiovascular professionals and the worldwide cardiovascular community by participating in one or more of the exciting events where the European Society of Cardiology will actively be present.
