Abstract
Both international and Polish cardiology community warmly welcomed our prior international project entitled Establishing a European Network for Orphan Cardiovascular Diseases (European Regional Development Fund and Małopolska Regional Operational Programme for 2007–2013). More than that, the first international project of Krakow CRCD received wide support that enabled establishment of collaboration with our initial International Partners, and successful organization of several international symposia devoted to “no‑one’s” RCD patients, including the symposium held at ESC congresses in 2012.
