ESC Congress 2008
Messe München GmbH
Messegelände
Munich, Germany
For 2008, the theme of the ESC Congress will be cardiovascular imaging. Over recent years, cardiovascular imaging has become a key component in clinical cardiology. We have witnessed an ultra-fast technical revolution in the field of imaging, with current modalities providing three- and four-dimensional visualisation of the cardiovascular system. For the three existing modalities (echocardiography, nuclear imaging and cardiovascular magnetic resonance) automated, quantitative software packages have been introduced, making objective and reproducible data analysis reality. The newest technique, cardiac computed tomography, now allows for non-invasive angiography. All together these modalities can provide comprehensive information about the heart and the coronary arteries, from anatomy to function and perfusion.

6th Advanced Symposium on Congenital Heart Disease in the Adult
September 26 & 27, 2008
Thessaloniki - Greece
Makedonia Palace Hotel
We invite you to participate in our 6th Advanced Symposium on Congenital Heart Disease in the Adult. This highly interactive and focused course is primarily aimed for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and allied professions practicing in ACHD and cardiac surgery. It should also be considered by those who are in specialist training and intend to practice in this expanding field.
The 2008 Meeting is in honor of Professor Philip J. Steer, London, UK for his major contribution to the pregnant woman with heart disease. The meeting will be held in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki, a cross-road of two continents and three civilizations and allegedly the best place for Byzantine history.
The meeting will include one expert-panel session for bringing-your-own difficult case. Generous time will be allowed for discussing presented papers at length during and outside the scientific sessions with the international faculty.
Programme Directors:
Prof Michael A. Gatzoulis
Mr Darryl F. Shore
