heartlive 2022: highlights of interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery
At the end of November, heartlive 2022 took place in Munich. Combined with the live congress was the workshop program "heartdays", which offered courses on numerous topics of interventional cardiac medicine. Prof. Dr. H. Schunkert, German Heart Center Munich, took over the chairmanship of the conference.
Live broadcasts and case demonstrations came from the DHM, the Leipzig Heart Center, as well as Cologne, Mainz and Ulm University Hospitals, the UKSH and the Bernau Heart Center.
During the live congress, current challenges of interventional cardiac medicine were discussed in live broadcasts and state-of-the-art lectures. Questions of concomitant drug therapy were also addressed in special symposia. Beides that, participants received an overview of all news of the international congresses.
Looking forward to heartlive 2023 !
