Introduction
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to welcome you at the 5th edition of the annual course dedicated to hereditary cardiac diseases, organized by the Romanian Society of Cardiology and the Expert Center for Rare Genetic Cardiac Diseases from the Emergency Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases “Prof.dr.C.C.Iliescu”, together with the University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Carol Davila” Bucharest and the Romanian Society of Cardiology.
After the success of the first 4 editions, we wanted this year’s course to bring updated information from new areas: when and how of the genetic testing, new therapies in genetic cardiomyopathies, new in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, imaging of the hypertrophied heart, channelopathies and athlete’s heart. We also organize a session on how to setup a cardiogenetic center. The program is supported by Romanian and European experts in the field, reflecting the strong collaboration between groups from several European expert centers within the European Refernce Network Guard Heart.
We added at this year’s edition commented cases session, an opportunity for specialists involved in the care of cardiac hereditary diseases to share and discuss their experience with colleagues.
We hope that this meeting becomes a fix date in the agenda of those interested in cardiogenetics in Romania, strengthening their collaboration with the Expert Center for Rare Genetic CV Diseases. Updated information can always be found on the event’s webpage.
