ESC Associations
At the heart of cardiovascular care
The ESC Associations are at the heart of cardiovascular innovation – bringing together clinicians, scientists, nurses, and allied professionals who share a deep commitment to advancing care within their subspecialty. Each Association is a dynamic hub of expertise, offering tailored education, cutting-edge research, and tools that empower you to lead in your field.
From organising annual congresses and publishing peer-reviewed journals to shaping clinical guidelines and advocating for policy change, ESC Associations drive progress across the full spectrum of cardiology. Whether you're focused on heart failure, imaging, arrhythmias, prevention, acute care, or you’re a nurse, an allied professional, or an interventionalist, there’s an association ready to support your journey.
Join a community where knowledge flows, collaboration thrives, and every member helps shape the future of cardiovascular health.
