ESCR 2017 will provide you with unique opportunities to share ideas, to network with peers, and to become inspired by leaders in the field.

Imaging in arrhythmias and heart failure are the two major themes for ESCR 2017. Most of the scientific and educational programme will be focused on these two topics which will be addressed by several discussant using a multidisciplinary approach with different sub-specialities such as cardiology, arrhythmology, nuclear cardiology, echocardiography and cardiac surgery. In fact, ESCR has strongly advocated for clinical involvement.

Abstract Submission

The abstract submission for ESCR 2017 will open in March. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Notification of acceptance or rejection of your abstract will be sent out in June 2017.

The European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology welcomes abstracts for oral and poster presentation at ESCR 2017!

REGISTRATION DETAILS:

* REDUCED MEMBER REGISTRATION
Reduced congress registration is available to all active ESCR members with their membership fee balanced until May 1, 2014 at the latest. Any membership payments done after May 1, 2017, may not be granted the reduced ESCR 2014 congress registration.

** REDUCED RESIDENT REGISTRATION
Reduced congress registration will be offered to residents (young radiologists in training). Residents have to send, fax or email a letter from their head of department, written on official hospital letter paper and signed by the head of department, confirming their status as such within 5 days of completed on-line registration. In case this confirmation is not received, the registration fee will be automatically adjusted to a regular fee. The age limit for a registration as a resident is set at 35 years (incl. the age of 35).

*** REDUCED NURSE, TECHNOLOGIST OR PHYSICIST REGISTRATION
Nurses, technologists and physicists have to send, fax or email a letter from their head of department, written on official hospital letter paper and signed by the head of department, confirming their status as such within 5 days of completed on-line registration. In case this confirmation is not received, the registration fee will be automatically adjusted to a regular fee.

**** STUDENT REGISTRATION
Registrations categorized as student are limited to students without any academic title and must be accompanied by a valid student ID. The general age limit for students as such is set at 30 years. Student registration is possible only onsite.

CANCELLATION
In case of cancellation more than 30 days prior to the congress, 75% of the registration fee will be refunded after the congress. All cancellations have to be done in writing and sent to the ESCR Office (via fax or email). A cancellation less than 30 days prior to the congress will not result in a refund.

NAME CHANGE
Name changes will be treated like the cancellation of one registration and the new registration of another participant.
