WELCOME NOTE
Dear Colleagues,
Οn behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Committee it is our great pleasure to invite you to the 5th International Forum of Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery Paediatric & Adult Congenital Heart Diseases which will be held on 10-11 April 2021.
During the last years, the developments in Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of Congenital Heart Disease are ongoing and rapidly developing with a plethora of scientific and technical challenges. To this end, we have created an innovative and inclusive program of this year’s Forum dealing with scientific issues on Fetal & Neonatal Cardiology, cardiac Anaesthesia, & Intensive Care as well as Surgical and Cardiac Interventions. New developments in Congenital Heart Disease will be analysed by a panel of experts from Greece and abroad, who will cover all the major scientific cardiac & surgical developments and will ensure the highest level of a scientific event.
This year, due to the conditions for dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, the conference will be held online and live. For this reason, but also to maintain the adequate atmosphere of a medical conference, a prestigious online platform has been chosen which will allow the interaction between the speakers and will create the atmosphere of a live conference.
With the certainty that your active participation is the main guarantee for the success of this year's Forum, we invite you for a very important and constructive two-day exchange of scientific knowledge, experiences and innovative medical developments.
With Best Regards
