Invitation

Dear Sirs and Madams, Dear Friends,

We are very pleased with the fact Wrocław will again be a magnet attracting cardiologists. Taking this opportunity, we would like to invite you on behalf of the Organizing Committee to visit the capital city of Lower Silesia again to participate in the

19th International Congress of the Polish Cardiac Society (PCS),

which is scheduled to take place on 1-3 October 2015.

Next year’s edition of the PCS Congress is shaping up to be an exceptional event organized in a novel formula. The motto of the Congress will be “Cardiology is an art”, as we want to incorporate the topic of art into our sessions. It is no accident that Wrocław has been named as the European Capital of Culture 2016, the World Book Capital 2016 and the host of the European Film Awards 2016. The capital of Lower Silesia has an established reputation as a major European centre of science and art. For many years, Wrocław has been hosting famous festivals, open-air performances of the greatest opera works prepared by the Wrocław Opera, exhibitions and shows presenting works by renowned artists. The city also has excellent museums including the Racławice Panorama or the Museum of the Lubomirski Princes. Throughout its history, Wrocław has been known as a city of tolerance, open to Europe and the world, striving to create conditions promoting dynamic development and collaboration among scientists and artists. We believe that you will also feel the spirit of cardiology intertwined with art during next year’s Congress.

We are now witnessing fast-changing developments in cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. During the Congress in Wrocław, Polish and international experts will gather to present and discuss results of ground-breaking clinical trials, new ideas and achievements in cardiology. We expect that the Congress will offer clinicians an opportunity to share their views on optimal diagnostic and therapeutic decisions concerning patients with cardiovascular diseases. We also trust that the event will be a great forum for the presentation of scientific accomplishments of experts specializing in cardiac diseases.

We hope that our varied programme of scientific and cultural events will encourage you to take part in the Congress.

We are looking forward to seeing you in the magic city of Wrocław!

Cardiology is Art

In October 2014 emerged an idea to give XIX International Congress of the Polish Cardiac Society not only a medical theme – which was ‘atrial fibrillation’ – but also a phrase that would constitute a whole Congress. This is how the theme for the Congress ‘Cardiology is an art’ was born. A phrase that reflects the nature of day-to-day struggles of a cardiologist, as well as opens a door to other people and invites artists to cooperate. Thus, students of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław took part, during their semester classes, in a competition for the best visual design of XIX Congress of the Polish Cardiac Society expressed in the sentence ‘Cardiology is an art’ or connected with the subject ‘atrial fibrillation’ - leitmotiv of the Congress.
