The congress offers a focused platform for scientific excellence.

It was a great privilege to receive an award for our work. The congress offered a unique opportunity to share our findings with peers dedicated to advancing care in critically ill cardiovascular patients. 

What sets this congress apart is the collaborative spirit, the high-quality discussions and its strong support for early-career researchers. It’s an ideal environment to grow, learn and make your voice heard.

Presenting at the congress allowed me to foster insightful discussions with leading experts in the field.

Science is a dynamic process: sharing and discussing early results is a crucial part of that journey. Engaging with experts at the congress provided me with a unique opportunity for learning and growth.

I chose to submit my abstract to the ESC Acute CardioVascular Care congress because it offered a well-organised, safe, yet challenging setting for such exchanges. I encourage all healthcare professionals at all levels to consider submitting an abstract.
