Who We Are

Empowering better care in our field

Cardiovascular diseases often have a genetic component; understanding that is key to improving care. The ESC Council on Cardiovascular Genomics’ mission is to turn genetic discoveries into real-world application.

We help bridge the gap between science and practice – empowering you to use genomics to better the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions.

Together, we’re building a future where genomic knowledge transforms cardiovascular health for everyone.
