Dear Members and Friends,

Welcome to the summer edition of the newsletter from the ESC Working Group on Coronary Pathophysiology & Microcirculation.

WG Talk: Decoding Lipoprotein(a): From Atherosclerosis to Clinical Implications

Our recent online Working Group Talk “Decoding Lipoprotein(a): From Atherosclerosis to Clinical Implications”, was a great success,  thanks to your participation! We were motivated to see such strong interest and engagement from colleagues around the world.

Our WG at the CBCS Summer School 2025!

The ESC Working Group on Coronary Pathophysiology & Microcirculation was proud to participate in the 2025 ESC CBCS Summer School at the European Heart House, a truly inspiring and collaborative event!

Over three days, 49 early-stage researchers from 16 countries gathered to explore cutting-edge topics, from cardiovascular development and immunity to ischaemic heart disease, arrhythmias, atherosclerosis, and more.
Prof. Dirk Duncker and Dr. Edina Cenko delivered engaging talks on ischaemic heart disease pathophysiology and the clinical management of coronary syndromes, sparking dynamic discussions.

The Summer School fostered an inspiring, international environment, strengthening networks and opening doors to future research opportunities within the ESC community and beyond.
Want to revisit the highlights? Presentations are available on demand via ESC 365.
