Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) is gearing up to host the 20th edition of Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology Congress (APSC) from 29 April to 2 May, 2015 in conjunction with the XX World Congress of Echocardiography and Allied Techniques 2015 and the 6th Annual Emirates Cardiac Society Congress 2015.

Held for the first time in the Middle East, the biennial Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology Congress aims to provide a regional meeting platform for cardiovascular surgeons, physicians and cardiology specialists to disseminate their knowledge and experience in cardiology focusing on the theme ‘Bringing the Middle East and Far East Together’.

It will also draw the participation of hundreds of fellows and residents in cardiothoracic and cardiology training programmes, nurses, physician assistants, allied health professionals and medical students to explore and benefit from cutting edge research and the latest findings in cardiovascular care.  

The conference will feature a rich scientific programme and share insights on the recent advances of general cardiology, echocardiography and imaging, electrophysiology, cardiac surgery, and paediatric cardiology. In addition, it will offer workshops on fetal cardiology, 3D echocardiography, deformation imaging, tobacco cessation and ECG, among others.

As part of our priority to promote Abu Dhabi as a leading business tourism destination, ADNEC is committed to meet the requirements of our existing and upcoming events through expanding and upgrading our facilities.
