ESC National Cardiac Societies are the founders and principal constituent bodies of the ESC. Today we count 58 National Cardiac Societies as institutional members that pay a membership fee and vote to help shape the future of cardiology and drive ESC activities. They are also instrumental in ESC research, dissemination of guidelines and a wide range of other activities.
A united voice
Institutional members (on a national level) and the ESC (on a global level) share a common goal of reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Together, we are committed to disseminating scientific knowledge, acting in the interests of patients and representing the community of cardiovascular professionals.
*The Belorussian Scientific Society of Cardiologists and the Russian Society of Cardiology are temporarily suspended from the membership of the ESC. See ESC Statement.
Our global scope and collaboration with ESC Affiliated Cardiac Societies is essential to advancing the worldwide battle against cardiovascular disease.
Our mission: To reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease.
