The auditorium of the long-standing Institute of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery in Havana will host the 4th Cuban Symposium on Heart Failure and the 1st Cuban Symposium on Cardiomyopathies and Rare Cardiovascular Diseases.

  These two scientific events will showcase the progress made to date in the field of cardiology, including the detection and treatment of rare cardiovascular diseases.

  The two-day gathering opens this September 24 under the slogan: “Diseases do not begin in the hospital; only those who prevent them will succeed.”

  The scientific conference—sponsored by the Cuban Society of Cardiology, the National Center for Medical Genetics, and the Institute itself—will serve as a forum for sharing knowledge, presenting interesting cases, and continuing to strive for excellence in patient care within this field.
