ESC registries, Organised by EURObservational Research Programme
The EurObservational Research Programme started 5 years ago when the ESC Board recognized the need to produce good, robust European data on how cardiology is practised in Europe. We thought that this was our duty towards the ESC NCSs, the European agency and authorities and the only practical way to understand whether guidelines are implemented. The programme has 5 goals...Continue reading Professor Ferrari's report from ESC Congress (Source: ESC News and Press)

Cardioscape reveals where the money for cardiovascular research in Europe comes from and what it is spent on
CVD is the number 1 killer in Europe claiming over 4 million lives in the Europe and 1.9 million lives per year in the European Union (EU). CVD is also estimated to cost the EU economy almost €196 billion a year. The rising life expectancy coupled with adverse trends in major cardiovascular risk factors could lead to a doubling in the absolute incidence of CVD by 2050. (Source: ESC News and Press)

A wealth of opportunities for young cardiologists
The ESC young community (under 36-year old) represents the ESC’s future. Founded in 2010 with the Cardiologists of Tomorrow, its number increases year on year. They are all embedded in different ESC Constituent Bodies. Currently eight ESC young groups are supporting a broad range of cardiology fields of expertise. In 2014, more than 500 young cardiologists benefited from free ESC Congress 2014 registration, thanks to Cardiologists of Tomorrow.

Far-reaching programme of ESC Registries
Since its introduction in 2008 the ESC’s registry programme - known as the EURObservational Research Programme, or EORP - has grown from just two pilot surveys (both in heart failure) to a broad-ranging and far-reaching programme of 13 registries arranged within the categories of ‘General’, ‘Sentinel’, ‘Special’ and ‘Prevention’ (the last of which now includes both arms, hospital and primary care, of the latest round of the Euroaspire data collection and analysis).
