Throughout the course, a vast array of outstanding clinicians, renowned scientists and expert investigators will provide participants the opportunity to receive a renewed insight in the hottest topics of vascular medicine. In addition, participants will discover the potential improvements in the field resulting from the latest innovative developments in the area of therapeutic agents.
This program has been conceived with a methodological, clinical and multidisciplinary approach to vascular diseases. Therefore, the meeting mainly caters to specialists in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases,
