WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Czech Society of Cardiology and the Organising Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the “Pulmonary Circulation 2010 European Forum” to be held on June 2-5, 2010 in Prague.
This international Conference will focus on the diagnosis and management of chronic and acute diseases affecting the pulmonary circulation and right ventricle.
The main idea of the Conference is to bring together a group of globally recognized experts with clinicians from EU interested in diseases affecting pulmonary
circulation. Special effort has been already made to assure representation in the audience all EU countries. We are happy to welcome experts in pulmonary
circulation again in Prague, since the last meeting there was very successful.
The Conference will start on 3rd June and finish on 5th June 2010 and will be held in
Clarion Congress Hotel Prague.
It has been endorsed by the ESC WG on PC and RV function and the European Respiratory Society WG 04.04 PC and pulmonary vascular diseases.
The International Conference on PC has obtained accreditation from the Czech Medical Chamber for 22 Europen CME hours of credit.
In addition to clinical issues, a special Session presenting different national solutions to most important problems related to providing care and reimbursement of treatments in orphan diseases, such as pulmonary arterial hypertension is planned.
Media coverage of the Conference will be provided.
