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.

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.
