Accreditation

CME-Credits The 7th ESC-EuroGUCH Meeting has been accredited by EBAC.

Dear colleagues and friends,

it is our great honour and pleasure to invite you to the annual scientific meeting of the ESC-working group on adults with Congenital Heart Disease.

The 7th ESC-EuroGUCH Meetingis going to be held in Munich, Germany,on Friday, April 22nd, and Saturday, April 23rd, 2016

The combined surgical and cardiological effort to treat adults with congenital heart disease is a story of success. Today an increa-sing number of patients, even with very complex congenital heart disease, survive to adulthood with a good quality of life. However, since true „correction“ of a congenital cardiac lesion is seldomly achievable, these patients need lifelong expert medical surveillance and close collaboration of health professionals in many medical sub-specialities.

The first day of the current meeting is concentrating on the right ventricle in patients with congenital heart disease. Diagnostic modalities, indication for treatment and treatment options are presented and discussed. The second day focusses on different clinically relevant topics for this group of patients.

We believe the course will be attractive not only for adult – or pediatric cardiologists and surgeons, but also for cardiac anesthesiologists, intensivists, nurse specialists and other health professional caring for GUCH patients.

We hope that, besides an excellent scientific meeting, you will enjoy Bavarian hospitality and a stimulating atmosphere here in Munich. It is an opportunity not only to share scientific thoughts but to foster personal relationships.

The organizers cordially invite you to come to Munich and bring friends, colleagues, trainees and students along with you. We look forward to welcoming you personally in Munich.
