Join us to learn on the latest science changing practice and ask your questions to the experts.
Discover the scientific programme
From cardiologists, general practitioners, basic scientists, young researchers, policymakers and allied health professionals such as our colleagues in physiotherapy, psychology, nursing and nutritional science, we’ll be able to meet together to discover the very latest science in preventive cardiology, hear inspiring speakers, learn about innovations changing practice and much more.
The spotlight this year is "Risk factor realities in 2025"
Modern medicine and technologies are helping us live more comfortably and longer, with fewer young lives lost. However, this means more medical care is needed. To ensure continued progress is made, we must effectively manage cardiovascular risks and embrace new technologies and treatments. Let’s therefore look at the heart and beyond at ESC Preventive Cardiology 2025 in order to tackle cardiovascular risk!
EAPC brings together all these aspects and is proud to work together with our friends from allied specialities to combat cardiovascular risk in our societies.
