The Nucleus
The Council is led by a Nucleus. The first ESC Council on Cardiovascular Genomics Nucleus for the three-year term 2019-2022 was nominated by the ESC leadership.
The Nucleus for the next period (2022-2024) will be elected in agreement with ESC statutes and Council by-laws. These elections will take place early 2022 and will be open to the ESC Council on Cardiovascular Genomics members (restrictions apply).
