Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to the 44th Annual Congress of the Belgian Society of Cardiology, the premier cardiology event in Belgium. This congress is a unique opportunity to bring together cardiologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from across the country.
This year’s theme, “Stunning Advances in Cardiology: Bridging Science and Patient Care” commemorates the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking discovery of myocardial stunning by Belgian scientist and cardiologist Guy Heyndrickx. This significant cardiovascular pathophysiological concept has had a profound impact on the field, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone with a program that highlights the latest advancements in cardiology.
Building on the success of previous years, this year’s congress will once again feature a comprehensive program designed to engage and educate professionals across the cardiology field. We are privileged to have an outstanding faculty of both international and local speakers who will present the latest advancements in cardiovascular science and clinical guidelines. Highlights of the upcoming congress include:
– Accredited scientific and radiation sessions
– Keynote lecture by a distinguished scientist
– Joint BSC-ESC guideline sessions
– Specialized sessions covering various cardiac subspecialties, including heart failure, acute cardiology, arrhythmia, invasive cardiology, cardiovascular imaging, basic cardiology, and cardiovascular prevention
– Research showcases with best abstract and poster presentations
– Awards ceremony celebrating young investigators and laureates of prizes sponsored by the Belgian Heart Foundation and the Fund for Cardiovascular Surgery
– Hands-on training sessions in electrophysiology and cardiac imaging, and as a new feature this year: a special hands-on heart failure session
– Specialized sessions tailored for nurses and allied healthcare professionals
Additionally, the congress will host several satellite symposia and scientific exhibitions by our industry partners, keeping you informed on the latest developments in pharmaceutical drug development.
This annual congress is also an exceptional opportunity to network with colleagues and share valuable experiences. We encourage you to take an active role in the upcoming BSC Congress 2025, as we unite the community of all healthcare professionals involved in cardiac care.
Please visit our congress pages on a regular basis for further updates about the event.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we look forward to welcoming you to the BSC Congress at Brussels Expo on 6th and 7th February 2025!
Warm regards,
