Advanced scientific programme now available The advanced programme featuring the confirmed session titles and talks is now available online. WCC 2014 scientific programme will cover a broad range of topics in clinical science, basic science, and health promotion/health advocacy. Join us in Melbourne to learn more about prevention and treatment of conditions such as coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension as well as risk factors that can lead to these conditions.
Some “snapshot” session highlights
Mental health and cardiovascular disease (CVD) including the interrelationships of psychiatric illnesses and CVD, the role of depression and disease, and the effect of gender differences and depression prevalence in patients with coronary artery disease
Heart rhythm disturbances in athletes including atrial fibrillation in athletes, devices in athletes and a debate on whether we can predict the athlete at risk for sudden cardiac death
Making CVD a global political priority including achieving change in high- and low-income countries and what the ultimate price of inaction will be
EBAC CME Accreditation
We are currently in the process of applying for EBAC CME accreditation. We are expecting WCC 2014 to receive a total of 18 hours of External CME credits. Please visit our website in the beginning of 2014 for further updates.
