About the Congress

WELCOME LETTER

Every new edition of the Argentine Congress of Cardiology is better than the previous one; this is not by chance but rather an achievement accomplished by the effort of an entire work group under a perfect leadership. 
 
In 2022, with the return to face-to-face attendance after the COVID 19 pandemic, the congress demonstrated excellent scientific performance and the need for all the participants to communicate, embrace each other and share the lost moments again became especially evident. 
 
This year, the congress will not be different from the previous edition in that aspect, but the need to improve day by day will provide it with personal nuances. 
 
Last year, we had the feeling that despite the large area of La Rural, the venue was too small for more than 12,000 attendees, as the aisles were crowded during peak hours. 
 
For this year 2023, the South American Society of Cardiology (SSC) has designated the Argentine Society of Cardiology as host of the 30th CARDIOSUR to be held together with our SAC Congress. For this purpose, colleagues from all societies members of the SSC will be invited to participate and there will be special guests of the highest international level. Furthermore, and as usual, the 20th Argentine Congress of Pediatric Cardiology will also take place, with the participation of the most outstanding national and international consultants in the specialty. 
 
In this edition, we will repeat the characteristic formats with proven interest, including courses offered by our Society, round tables, symposia and conferences, among others. The target is a multidisciplinary outlook on patients’ care, not aimed at super-specialists but rather at office-based cardiologists, clinicians, family physicians and general practitioners, with information useful for decision-making in daily practice. 
 
We will also include joint multidisciplinary round tables with the concept of a comprehensive approach. We will count with international experts and joint round tables with several national and international societies which will provide their experience, allowing participants to perceive the similarities and differences in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases between different countries and specialties. 
 
All the scientific Councils, backbone of the SAC, and the young members will participate, and we expect this congress will continue with its federal line. Cardiovascular technicians and nurses will have a special place as every year. 
 
We propose a space with high scientific quality and variety of opinions, which is also an opportunity to meet again with many friends. 
 
We look forward to your participation in the 49th Argentine Congress of Cardiology, 20th Argentine Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and 30th CARDIOSUR, on October 19-21.
