Invitation

Dear collegues

It is a pleasure to announce the 2nd Indo-European Cardiology Update to be held on September 19th - 20th, 2020. Based on the tremendous success and wide acclaim for the Cardiology Update 2019 in Mumbai, the organizers have assembled a truly spectacular scientific program for this year. The joint Indo-European collaboration in the field of cardiology from prevention to management of coronary disease and heart failure is an important avenue to decrease the chronic disease burden in India.

The proposed scientific agenda includes the latest trends in hypertension, Lipid disorders and diabetes based on evidence and the most recent guidelines which are of paramount importance to the physicians in clinical practice. The course will further include state-of-art presentations by eminent Indian and European faculty known for their clinical expertise in the most common cardiac conditions.

We are confident that the Indo-European Cardiology Update 2020 will be yet another milestone in professional education and in the annals of preventive cardiology. The attendees will gain additional clinical tools in the early identification of cardiovascular risk factors and in the management of cardiovascular disease in the community.

Best wishes and kind regards,

Thomas F. Lüscher and C. Venkata S. Ram
