Baku hosts Int'l Congress 'Baku Heart Days'

The 3rd International Congress “Baku Heart Days” organized by the Azerbaijan Society for Cardiovascular Surgery (AzSCVS) has today started in Azerbaijan`s capital.

Opening the event Chairman of ASCS Kamran Musayev read out Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev`s congratulatory letter.

Special attention paid by President Ilham Aliyev to this field as a logical continuation of the healthcare policy of national leader Heydar Aliyev, enabled such rapid development of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery in the country.

While developing the program for the congress, we have tried to cover the most disputable problems of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery and maintain a high scientific-practical level of the congress. Traditionally, both local and foreign specialists will be able to send their abstracts electronically. These abstracts will be printed in a special booklet of the congress and distributed among all participants. Live transmission of the surgeries on disputable patients that we will hold jointly with the most eminent specialists of the world, will enhance the scientific-practical significance of the “Baku Heart Days” International Congress. The event will feature the practical course on “Surgical Anatomy of the Heart”.

At the same time, this congress will enable the Azerbaijani specialists to discuss the latest achievements in cardiology with the leading experts of the world. Foreign delegations will have a chance to discover the rich history and cultural heritage of Azerbaijan through the social program.

The AzSCVS organized the “Baku Heart Days” 1st International Congress on 9-11 May, 2009, which was a great success and joined by representatives from 16 countries. Two years later, the “Baku Heart Days” 2nd International Congress was held on 13-15, 2011 and was equally successful. This time, the number of participating countries reached 26.
The congress will last till May 19.
