Summary
Cardio Genomics 2021 is a virtual conference focusing on the promotion of genetic and genomic literacy amongst healthcare professionals. The aim is to promote greater awareness of genomic medicine in cardiology and consequently improve patient care through therapeutic innovation.
Course Director
Professor Perry Elliott, FESC
Chair of the Council on Cardiovascular Genomics, 2019-2022
Who should attend?
- Healthcare practitioners involved in the care and study of patients and populations with cardiovascular disease
- Trainees in cardiology
- Geneticists and genetic trainees with an interest in familial cardiovascular disorders
Abstract presentation
The committee would like to thank all abstract submitters for their contribution to the original science programme.
Selected abstracts will be available via the event's platform (ePoster format) for viewing before, during and after the live event as ePoster.
Three highest-graded abstracts will be presented during the live event in a dedicated session and will be awarded a diploma and a copy of Inherited Cardiac Disease - Oxford Specialist Handbook in Cardiology.
