Report from the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2015 in London
Journal Title: Journal of Rare Cardiovascular Diseases - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
At least for us, the ESC Congress 2015 in London was different from the previous ones as we did not organize Satellite Symposium on rare cardiovascular diseases. It is not that we did not want to, on the contrary we tried as much as we could, but due to the fact that our EU Project MRPO 08.02.00‐12-424/10 has eventually came to an end we did not possess adequate financial back‐up to organize the session. Certainly, this is not good news for all somehow accustomed to our annual session, but on the other hand the light we torched some time ago has not been extinguished. During numerous informal meetings at the Congress we tried to cultivate what we had jointly started some time ago. As in real life, there are ups and downs and it is not difficult to carry on when everything clicks into place but real challenge is to survive even in the dark days. But now a little about the Congress itself.
