ESC Clinical Case Gallery

Students, cardiologists and allied professionals wishing to refresh their clinical skills can practise with real-case scenarios to test their knowledge. You can also share your experience by submitting a clinical case.

These cases present real and typical clinical scenarios that are followed, managed and discussed in light of current ESC recommendations. They usually focus on one central topic, although a case will often touch on several fields in cardiology, illustrating multiple issues and guidelines.

Share your case and get a chance to be published in the European Heart Journal – Case Reports (EHJ–CR)

Cases selected for inclusion in the ESC Clinical Case Gallery will also be considered for publication in the European Heart Journal – Case Reports. Cases of outstanding quality and educational content will be published, at no charge, in EHJ–CR as part of this initiative from the ESC Education Committee, the ESC Clinical Case Task Force, and EHJ–CR.

Selected authors will be contacted accordingly.
