Since its first inception, the meeting has been held biennially which has attracted thousands of participants and successfully created a pivotal platform in the Asia-Pacific region. The ICC 2010 has grown into a bigger scale with three meetings running in parallel, namely, International Congress of Cardiovascular Medicine (ICCM), 14th Asian-Pacific Congress of Doppler Echocardiography (APCDE), and Congenital and Structural Heart Disease Symposium (CASH). Eminent faculty from around the world will share state-of-the-art knowledge and address the latest issues in cardiovascular medicine. ICC 2010 promises to bring a rich and exciting programme which covers a wide spectrum of topics of interest, latest trends in cardiovascular diseases management, the hottest niche and controversies in the field. There will be five concurrent sessions featuring didactic lectures, theme-based symposia, interactive case forums and programmes for allied health professionals. The meeting will certainly inspire innovative ideas, facilitate fruitful exchanges, foster friendships and possible collaborations.
Hong Kong is a secure, energetic and dynamic city. To many overseas visitors, Hong Kong is the best place where you can experience a unique, vibrant yet harmonious blend of the East and West, and enjoy the distinctive sightseeing, shopping and culinary delights. The spectacular view of the Victoria Harbour is particularly breathtaking and unforgettable.
We trust that you will find the meeting both intellectually stimulating and socially rewarding. Your participation would help make this congress a memorable one.
We look forward to seeing you in Hong Kong!
