Egypt and from all over the world. The conference this year chose the Slogan “from Basic Knowledge to High Tech.”.

During the 5 working days of the conference, senior participants will have the chance to communicate and actively share with the

faculty of the meeting the latest trials and the most recent innovations and the newest technology in different fields of Cardiology,

whereas the junior physicians will have a wide variety of sessions explaining and presenting the basic knowledge needed by them in both

clinical cardiology, basic imaging and basic EPS. The Working groups of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology are participating by special

session(s) during the meeting.

Workshops will be discussing echocardiography, Multislice CT Cardiac Imaging & Myocardial Perfusion Imaging, please take this chance

to know these techniques from basic rules to advanced imaging protocols.

The conference this year have 48 guest speakers from USA, Canada, Europe, and the Arab World and more than 360 Egyptian Speakers

and Chairpersons, 107 Session, 450 Lecture, 137 working hours & 7 halls working simultaneously.
