Russian National Congress of Cardiology 2014

Dear colleagues!

On behalf of the Russian Society of Cardiology Board I invite you to actively participate in the work of the Russian National Congress of Cardiology, the largest annual all-Russian professional medical forum, which will take place in Kazan on September 24-26, 2014.

According to the latest legislative initiatives of the President of Russian Federation and the state programme of healthcare development, fundamental medico-biological research meeting the needs of healthcare agencies in new effective treatment and diagnostic technologies and drugs, as well as focused training of specialists aimed at developing breakthrough technologies and their active introduction into clinical practice are most important for the Society that has been fighting for healthy hearts of the Russian people for five decades.

The Congress scientific programme will include the most prominent modern achievements in prevention, diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Interdisciplinary approach to the problems discussed is of exceptional value as it fully represents the current trend to integrate knowledge in medical science. No less important is a strong educational component of plenary sessions, symposia, clinical discussions, scientific seminars, round tables, and master classes.

It is not by chance that the Congress will be held in Kazan where its famous scientific and clinical school contributed a lot into reduction of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Russia. The capital of the Republic of Tatarstan will warmly welcome the Congress participants. The guests will get to know the thousand years of the Tartar history and outstanding cultural values of one of the most beautiful Russian cities.

I strongly believe that thanks to your active and interested participation, the Russian National Congress of Cardiology 2014 will be a huge success and become a significant social event that will offer new prospects to the Russian healthcare for the welfare of our citizens.

I wish you successful and fruitful work!

President of the Russian Society of Cardiology

Prof. Evgeny Shlyakhto
