Tenemos mucho que aprender  mutuamente de diversas &aacute;reas de especialidades afines y el Congreso de  la Sociedad Europea de Cardiolog&iacute;a (ESC) 2013 atraer&aacute; a especialistas en  otros sistemas que ayudar&aacute;n a entender mejor los mecanismos de las enfermedades  y mejorar el manejo de nuestros pacientes.&nbsp; </font></p>   <font face="Verdana" size="2">       ]]></body>

Es un encuentro verdaderamente internacional (&iexcl;el mayor n&uacute;mero  de temas libres remitidos fueron desde Jap&oacute;n!). Tenemos sesiones conjuntas  con muchas sociedades de todo el mundo y 16 sesiones vinculadas con oportunidad  directa de interacci&oacute;n con los expertos y l&iacute;deres de opini&oacute;n. Este a&ntilde;o  por primera vez tendremos los posters de &ldquo;disparo r&aacute;pido&rdquo; seguidos de una  discusi&oacute;n interactiva con una presentaci&oacute;n electr&oacute;nica de los hallazgos  claves de cada uno de los estudios presentados (</font><font color="#1f1a17" face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="#figura_1">figuras 1</a></font><font face="Verdana" size="2">, </font><font color="#1f1a17" face="Verdana" size="2"> <a href="#figura_2">2</a></font><font face="Verdana" size="2"> y </font><font color="#1f1a17" face="Verdana" size="2"> <a href="#figura_3">3</a></font><font face="Verdana" size="2">). Tambi&eacute;n  por primera vez las presentaciones de los posters estar&aacute;n estimuladas por  comentadores expertos en ese campo de investigaci&oacute;n. Otra innovaci&oacute;n es  &ldquo;Conozca las Leyendas en Cardiolog&iacute;a&rdquo;, donde los participantes podr&aacute;n enviar  preguntas o hacerlas durante la sesi&oacute;n a personas que han cambiado nuestra  comprensi&oacute;n de la Cardiolog&iacute;a y ayudado a dar forma a la Cardiolog&iacute;a 2013.&nbsp; </font></p>   <font face="Verdana" size="2">       <br>     <a name="figura_1"></a><img style="width: 348px; height: 258px;" alt="" src="/img/revistas/ruc/v28n1/1a04f1.JPG">&nbsp;&nbsp; </font> <multicol gutter="18" cols="2"></multicol>     <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> <b>&ldquo;Aldeas&rdquo; de temas vinculados (&ldquo;Villages&rdquo;)&nbsp;</b> </font></p>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> Hay un enorme entusiasmo a nivel internacional por participar en este congreso  con un n&uacute;mero record de env&iacute;os para las sesiones cient&iacute;ficas planificadas  (se seleccionaron m&aacute;s de 400) y el segundo mayor n&uacute;mero de temas libres  remitidos (10.490). Para hacer el congreso m&aacute;s amigable nuevamente lo hemos  ordenado en &ldquo;aldeas&rdquo; de los temas relacionados. Por tanto, una &ldquo;aldea&rdquo;  puede incluir presentaciones en un sal&oacute;n sobre Insuficiencia card&iacute;aca y  en el sal&oacute;n contiguo sobre trastornos del ritmo. A trav&eacute;s de este concepto  de &ldquo;aldea&rdquo; el congreso se vuelve m&aacute;s interactivo y manejable. En el Congreso  ESC 2013 se presentar&aacute;n nuevas gu&iacute;as en Hipertensi&oacute;n Arterial, Estimulaci&oacute;n  Card&iacute;aca, Diabetes y Enfermedad Coronaria Estable. Vinculadas a estas habr&aacute;  sesiones cient&iacute;ficas dedicadas y enfocadas en an&aacute;lisis de casos.&nbsp; </font></p>   <font face="Verdana" size="2">   <a name="figura_2"></a><img style="width: 348px; height: 258px;" alt="" src="/img/revistas/ruc/v28n1/1a04f2.JPG">    <br>    </font>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> <b>&iquest;Porqu&eacute; alguien deber&iacute;a venir a participar en el Congreso?&nbsp;</b> </font></p>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> Los res&uacute;menes de las presentaciones destacadas aparecer&aacute;n on-line, pero  para realmente entender la importancia de las nuevas investigaciones es  necesario conversar sobre los hallazgos con nuestros colegas. &iexcl;Como miembros  de una Sociedad Nacional somos tambi&eacute;n miembros de la ESC! El Congreso  ESC brinda la oportunidad de decidir lo que podr&aacute; influir en nuestra comprensi&oacute;n  de las innovaciones y su pr&aacute;ctica a nivel nacional. A los Editores de las  Revistas de las Sociedades de Cardiolog&iacute;a Nacionales se les brindar&aacute;n las  principales presentaciones que podr&aacute;n ser traducidas y publicadas en las  Revistas locales.&nbsp; </font></p>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> El Congreso ESC 2013 es el congreso internacional cardiovascular m&aacute;s grande  y es por naturaleza verdaderamente internacional brindando oportunidades  apasionantes e innovadoras para interactuar y discutir con colegas de todo  el mundo.

Related specialty areas have much to learn from  each other and the ESC Congress 2013 will attract specialists from other  organ systems to help understand disease mechanisms and improve the management  of our patients.&nbsp; </font></p>   <font face="Verdana" size="2">       <br>    </font>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> <b>A personalised and interactive congress&nbsp;</b> </font></p>        ]]></body>
<body><![CDATA[<p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> At ESC Congress 2013 we can each develop a personalised curriculum, depending  on specialty interests and training needs. This is a truly international  meeting - the largest number of abstract submissions were from Japan! We  have joint sessions with many societies around the world and 16 linked  sessions and direct opportunities to interact with experts and thought  leaders. For the first time this year we have &ldquo;rapid fire&rdquo; posters followed  by interactive discussion around an electronic display featuring the key  findings from each of the presented studies (Figures 1-3). Also for the  first time, poster presentations will be stimulated by discussants who  are experts in that field of investigation. Another innovation is &ldquo;Meet  the Legends in Cardiology&rdquo;, where participants will be able to post questions  in advance or during the session to individuals who have changed our understanding  and helped determine the shape of cardiology in 2013.&nbsp; </font></p>   <font face="Verdana" size="2">       <br>    </font>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> <b>&ldquo;Villages&rdquo; of linked topics&nbsp;</b> </font></p>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> There is huge and international enthusiasm for participation in the congress  with a record number of submissions for scientific planned sessions (more  than 400 were selected) and the second highest ever number of abstracts  were submitted (10,490). To make the congress more manageable we have again  arranged the congress into &ldquo;villages&rdquo; of related topics. Thus, a village  may include presentations in one room on heart failure and in an adjacent  room on heart rhythm disturbances. Through the village concept the congress  becomes more manageable and interactive. Important new guidelines will  be presented at the ESC Congress 2013 on arterial hypertension, cardiac  pacing, diabetes, and stable coronary artery disease. Linked to these will  be dedicated scientific sessions, case based Focus Sessions.&nbsp; </font></p>   <font face="Verdana" size="2">       <br>    </font>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> <b>Why should someone come and participate in the congress?&nbsp;</b> </font></p>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> Summaries of the Hotlines will appear online but to really understand the  significance of the new research we need to discuss the findings with our  colleagues. As National Society members we are all also members of the  ESC! The ESC Congress provides the opportunity to decide what may influence  understanding of innovations and practice at a national level. Editors  of National Society Cardiovascular journals are provided with the Hotline  presentations and the Hotline extracts can be translated and printed in  local cardiovascular journals.&nbsp; </font></p>        <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> The ESC Congress 2013 is the largest cardiovascular international congress  and its true international nature provides exciting and innovative opportunities  to discuss and interact with colleagues from all around the world. You  have the choice: be part of the frontiers in cardiology and practice, or  be an observer!&nbsp; </font></p>     <font face="Verdana" size="2">         <br>   </font>        ]]></body>
