The 33rd Uruguayan congress of cardiology, celebrated at Punta del Este from November 9th to 11th, is the most relevant national cardiologic scientific event of the year. It was attended by local and International guests, as usual. Twenty-three abstracts about different cardiologic topics were presented, namely: clinical cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiac surgery, hemodynamics, cardiac imaging and cardiovascular prevention. We will comment on some of the most relevant of them:

- No-reflow phenomenon in percutaneous coronary intervention. Incidence, treatment and coronary vasodilators efficacy

- Early anticoagulation after aortic bioprostheses implantation is associated with better functional prognosis

- Trastuzumab cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients. Case series.

- Left atrial strain by Speckle tracking. Study protocol and creation of a new model for segmental analysis
