The European Society of Cardiology Congress is one of the most important scientific events, which brings together specialists from some 140 different countries every year. The 2016 Congress, held in Rome, attracted over 30,000 experts, and more than 11,000 scientific studies were presented during the event. 

Although some 150 different cardiovascular topics will be addressed, this year's Congress will focus on Percutaneous Coronary Interventions – PCI, with 500 scientific sessions led by experts. These sessions will concentrate on the areas considered to be of greatest importance: diagnosis, treatment of cardiovascular disease and scientific research.
