We are a not-for-profit medical society led by cardiovascular professionals who volunteer their time and expertise.
We are focused on the prevention, diagnosis and management of diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
We believe that the burden of cardiovascular disease can be reduced through collaboration and research. That is why we unite national cardiac societies, cardiovascular subspecialties, and individual ESC members from around the world.
We disseminate the very latest, evidence-based scientific knowledge to cardiovascular professionals so they can better care for their patients.
