Aims & Activities
The activity of the Working Group on Coronary Pathophysiology and Microcirculation has increased significantly during the last years. Particular emphasis has been given to the fundamental interaction between basic scientists and clinicians. This tradition of the Working Group has also been respected with regard to the composition of the Nucleus including members coming from basic science and clinical research. Altogether the Working Group has reinforced its role and presence in the European Society of Cardiology and in the activities of the cluster in order to promote research in clinical and basic science.
Aims
- To advance an integrative understanding of the physiology and phatophysiology of coronary vessels
- To support investigations of coronary vascular physiology and biology in health and disease
- To address prevention and to improve diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, by promoting and coordinating pre-clinical and clinical studies
- To disseminate cutting-edge information related to the fields of coronary pathophysiology, microcirculation and ischemia
- To promote participation of members to Working Group scientific activities
Activities
- To disseminate updates and last breaking information by contributing to the organization and preparation of the annual ESC congress and to endorse joint meetings and symposia during Cardiac National Societies Scientific Meetings
- To publish Position Papers and Consensus Documents addressing relevant issues and identify gaps that need to be addressed in future research efforts
- To organize scientific meetings on contemporary relevant issues in the field of Coronary Pathophysiology and Microcirculation
