Dear Cardiology Friends and Colleagues from around the world! Welcome to ESC Congress 2014 in Barcelona. We have a truly outstanding multinational congress for Barcelona and we look forward to your participation! Multinational: this is the largest international cardiology congress with faculty and abstracts from 100 countries, 39 joint sessions with sister Societies and with participants from all parts of the world. ESC Congress is a combination of topic related villages where communities meet and exchange ideas. Outstanding and interactive: we have a record number of abstract submissions (11 500), and newly designed interactive sessions including “Global Focus” sessions, expert sessions, Rapid-Fire presentations, Cases in Crossfire sessions, Meet the Legends and much more… Exciting: we bring you the latest clinical and scientific innovations, key Hot Lines and state of the art educational sessions. Interact with the panelits using your smartphone or other mobile device! Please download the ESC 2014 Mobile App - you’ll need it! The spotlight of ESC Congress is “Innovation and the Heart”, and this includes cutting edge innovations in basic and clinical science, innovations in clinical applications, in education and in quality improvement. We have more Hot Lines than ever before and 5 important new ESC Guidelines will be presented. Come and see how it can affect real clinical cases. If you are in training or in research you cannot miss the ESC Cardiologists and Scientists of Tomorrow sessions. Basic science has a strong profile, its own village and linked translational sessions. Remember the exhibition, the satellites and new developments from industry partners. ESC Congress is designed to be a resource for the whole year: key sessions will be shown live from Barcelona on the website. On ESC Congress 365, you will find free resources, all year long! The Inaugural Session on Saturday 30 August is a key introduction to the congress and it has some surprises in store – don’t miss it! We are delighted that you have chosen to be part of ESC Congress and together we can help shape the future of cardiology!

4. Establish the total 10 year risk for fatal CVD.

Another approach to explaining risk to younger persons is to use cardiovascular risk age. For example, in the high risk chart, a 40 year old male hypertensive smoker has a risk of 4%, which is the same as a 65 year old with no risk factors, so that his risk age is 65. This can be reduced by reducing his risk factors.

ESC WORKING GROUPS

16 ESC Working Groups for 16 areas of expertise in Cardiology Working Groups are the scientific backbone of the ESC and have been created to provide scientific expertise by excellence in a specific field. They contribute to the Mission of the ESC which is “To reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Europe”. Among many initiatives such as study groups, publications, registries, position papers and ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines, the main function of a Working Group is to “contribute scientifically to the ESC Congress and other educational and scientific initiatives”. From research to clinical applications, ESC Working Groups stimulate and disseminate scientific knowledge through various educational programmes. They encourage and ease interactivity and exchange at a European level.

ESC COUNCILS

4 ESC Councils The Councils bring together professionals with common interests in a particular field of cardiovascular medicine. The ESC Councils contribute to the scientific knowledge disseminated via the ESC Guidelines, congresses and publications as well as providing opportunities for professionals in the cardiovascular field. If you are a basic scientist, a nurse or allied health professional, a cardiologist in private practice or a primary care professional, there is a Council for you with specific activities related to your profession.

ESC CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES

Supporting the dissemination of knowledge on treament of cardiovascular diseases is a major responsability of the European Society of Cardiology. In order to improve clinical pratice, the Committee for Practice Guidelines (CPG) brings together groups of European experts with the task of developing recommendations and guidelines for clinical practice. These recommendations and guidelines clarify areas of consensus and disagreement, allowing distribution of the best possible guidance to practicing physicians. Guidelines aim to present all the relevant evidence on a particular clinical issue in order to help physicians to weigh the benefits and risks of a particular diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. They should be helpful in everyday medical decision-making.

EUROBSERVATIONAL RESEARCH PROGRAMME

A broad range of Registries and Surveys across ESC Countries and the World

Aim of the programme: to provide a better understanding of medical practice, based on observational/real life data. Data collected through a web-based eCRF from a network of volunteer centres in Europe and around the world. Extended statistical analyses performed in view of publications of main results/ sub-group analyses. EORP has been developed in cooperation with the healthcare Industry, while retaining its full independence. Database management, analysis and the EORP publication policy are run by the ESC.

General : To assess the characteristics and management of diseases, the incidence of which have a major epidemiological impact Special : To assess orphan and rare or highlydemanding diseases (i.e. bad outcome, high costs, complex management). Sentinel : To assess the development and impact of new tools and therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. Prevention : To assess cardiovascular risk factor epidemiology and prevention measures.
