The Association for Acute CardioVascular Care (ACVC) has created five expert study groups and a new scientific group in 2019, aimed at advancing the science in the fields and the writing of consensus, position, guidelines papers in order to increase ACVC leadership position in those fields.

Each group is under the supervision of the ACVC Research section Chair but has the entire freedom to recruit experts, propose and run its activities.
