Abstract
Doctors, like other academic professionals, know very well that there is no better place than a live conference to share knowledge and experience or to interact with people of similar interests.Encouraged by the success of Rare Cardiovascular Diseases (RCD) symposia during the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress in 2011 (Paris) and 2012 (Munich), the team of the Centre for Rare Cardiovascular Diseases (CRCD) in John Paul II Hospital in Krakow organized the 1st International Conference on Rare Cardiovascular Diseases (Krakow, October 18–19, 2012). For two days, the capitol of Kings of Poland became a European capital for rare cardiovascular diseases. Over 350 registered participants from the European and other countries arrived to the newly opened premises of the John Paul II Hospital Education Centre to discuss the vital aspects of care of patients with orphan cardiovascular diseases.
