It’s exactly one month until the World Congress of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Health 2016 and we look forward to seeing you there. You don’t have to be a WHF member to attend: it’s your chance to learn from world leaders, network with other specialists, share ideas and be inspired by best practice in cardiovascular health from other countries.
The 13 May deadline for lower registration fees is nearing
