After the 2017 ESC Congress, Barcelona became the city with most congresses since 1988(6), followed by Stockholm (5) and then by Amsterdam and Vienna and Munich (4 times each as of 2018). Some congresses (1994 and 2006) were organised jointly with the World Heart Federation [2] under the name of "World Congress of Cardiology".
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) is an independent non-profit, non-governmental professional association that works to advance the prevention, diagnosis and management of diseases of the heart and blood vessels, and improve scientific understanding of the heart and vascular system. [2] This is done by:
Heart failure with recovered ejection fraction (HFrecovEF or HFrecEF): patients previously with HFrEF with complete normalization of left ventricular ejection (≥50%). [64] [65] Heart failure may also be classified as acute or chronic. Chronic heart failure is a long-term condition, usually kept stable by the treatment of symptoms.
Sleep apnea is an under-recognized risk factor for heart failure. Uncontrolled sleep apnea may increase the risk of heart failure by up to 140%. [4] Weight reduction – through physical activity and dietary modification, as obesity is a risk factor for heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy. Effective weight management has been shown ...

[1] He is known for his research in the field of rhythmology, especially the diagnosis and pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy of cardiac arrhythmias and acute cardiac death, in particular the identification of arrhythmia ...
Per current guidelines (e.g., the ESC guidelines from 2015 and 2021) a patient has to wait at least 40 to 90 days after the cardiac event (e.g., myocardial infarction or newly diagnosed heart failure with reduced left ventricular function) before the decision to implant an ICD should be made. [21]
The first World Congress of Cardiology was convened in Paris in September 1950 under the aegis of the International Society of Cardiology, which had itself been founded four years previously. [ 2 ] In 2000, World Heart Day was founded to inform people that CVD is the world's leading cause of death.
Co-founder of ISHLT, in 1985 he was the first to successfully bridge a patient dying from end-stage heart failure to a donor heart transplant with a total artificial heart. [20] 1984–1986: Sir Terence English: Performed Britain's first successful heart transplant in August 1979 and received the ISHLT Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. [21] [22]
