The 3rd International Conference on Heart & Brain (ICHB 2016) is a unique meeting that unites cardiologists and neurologists in order to pursue a holistic approach to understanding the connection between the heart and the brain. As a leader in the emerging multidisciplinary field of neurocardiology, ICHB has set the standard in the rapidly growing field of integrated medicine that encourages a broad spectrum of knowledge for improved practice and patient care.

Being held in the breath-taking city of Paris, ICHB 2016 will be the ideal meeting point for the important exchange of knowledge and expertise between cardiology and neurology.
