ESC data science activities take place throughout the year, thanks to the invaluable contributions of volunteers and National Cardiac Societies bringing together clinicians, researchers and technology experts to advance cardiovascular care. At ESC Congress, dedicated sessions cover the latest innovations, initiatives and real-world applications of data science, and explore how these developments are shaping the future of cardiology.

GRASP (Global Research and Survey Programme)
GRASP brings together countries from a wide range of healthcare systems to ensure all patient populations are represented. We invite voluntary participation from all 58 ESC National Cardiac Society member countries and welcome input from the 49 ESC Affiliated Cardiac Society countries, making our registries the most geographically comprehensive in cardiovascular healthcare.
GRASP strengthens cardiovascular care by:
- Covering common and rare diseases, as well as prevention.
- Evaluating how ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines are implemented, helping to close the gap between recommendations and real-world practice.
- Assessing the management of rare and complex cardiovascular conditions to ensure optimal care.
- Promoting structured prevention strategies for cardiovascular disease.

ESC Atlas of Cardiology
The ESC Atlas of Cardiology provides comprehensive statistics and insights on cardiovascular disease across member countries. It highlights trends, disparities, and progress, supporting policymakers, clinicians, and researchers in shaping strategies for equitable and effective cardiovascular care.

EuroHeart
EuroHeart brings together the ESC, National Cardiac Societies and national cardiovascular registries to harmonise data standards and quality indicators across Europe. By enabling consistent measurement and international benchmarking, the programme helps assess the implementation of ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines, identify variations in care, and support quality improvement and research.
At ESC Congress 2026, EuroHeart will showcase new insights from the 2026 ACS‑PCI analysis involving 15 countries and the first TAVI annual reporting cycle involving nine countries, alongside progress in the Heart Failure domain.

SCORE2
SCORE2 is an evidence-based algorithm that helps clinicians estimate a person’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease. It guides informed decisions about prevention and management, ensuring care is tailored to each patient.

We thank the National Cardiac Societies for their invaluable involvement in these activities. Their collaboration is instrumental in shaping the future of cardiology and advancing cardiovascular health for all.
Together, these resources empower our community to advance cardiovascular health through data-driven excellence and collaboration.
