EuroPRevent 2014

On behalf of the European Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (EACPR), we would like to invite you all to join us in the beautiful city of Amsterdam from 8 to 10 May 2014 for a memorable few days of scientific exchange and discussion on preventive cardiology.

The theme for next year is Global Cardiovascular Health.

The theme for next year is Global Cardiovascular Health. Cardiovascular disease has long ceased to be a problem uniquely linked to affluence and Western societies. There are more cardiovascular deaths in India and China than in all developed countries together. The lessons learned in the West need to be blended with the specific cultural, social and etiologic factors that determine the steady rise of metabolic and cardiovascular disease around the globe. The dynamics of the disease patterns, the parallel persistence of traditional diseases of poverty, and the enormous impact on societies and health of individuals demand that we join forces to enter a new era of fight against the burden of cardiovascular disease on an unprecedented scale. Treatment can never provide a complete answer and prevention is the only solution. As prevention is the passion of those gathering at the congress, EuroPRevent 2014 is an event you should not miss.
