ISCP @ESC 2024 CONGRESS IN LONDON

We’re thrilled to share our remarkable experience at ESC 2024 Congress in London. Our ISCP-ESC Official Joint Session “Emerging Cardiovascular Drugs: Watch This Space” on the first morning was a highlight, drawing an impressive crowd with standing-room-only—a true indicator of the interest and engagement in our discussions; it set the tone to a truly inspiring start of the congress! The session featured presentations by ISCP Board members including Prof Doreen Tan from Singapore, and Prof Gheorghe Andrei Dan from Romania and was chaired by Prof Antonio Martínez Rubio from Spain and Prof Alina Scridon, ISCP Governor for Romania. If you missed it, you can still watch it online on the ESC 365 platform.

Our Booth (F150 South Exhibition), strategically positioned in the International Associations & Publishers Row, became a central hub for visibility, partnerships, and meaningful exchanges. It served as a dynamic meeting point for our Board members, Governors, and the cardiology community, offering a space for networking, sharing experiences, and discussing the hottest topics in Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy. Here´s a short video with our highlights from the congress and our booth, if you are curious. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making this event truly unforgettable.
Bring on ESC 2025 in Madrid!
