Bringing the patient voice to ESC congresses

Patient Perspective Sessions in 2026

We invite you to attend these sessions that highlight patients' real experiences, insights, and priorities, shared directly by members of the ESC Patient Forum.

If you’re attending any of the upcoming congresses, we encourage you to attend these sessions and hear first-hand how cardiovascular conditions impact daily life — and how patient perspectives can shape better care.

For any questions or additional details, feel free to drop us a line: patients@escardio.org
