19th Interventional Cardiology Symposium

Presented by the Montreal Heart Institute

Dear Colleagues,

Now in its 19th year, the annual Interventional Cardiology Symposium invites you to Montréal for a dynamic meeting on the latest developments in the field, led by a roster of top cardiologists from North America, Europe and Asia. Our meetings offers participants the chance to see how experts are working with new techniques and technologies to handle issues confronting today’s patients, with the opportunity to meet and discuss with these professionals face to face.

In addition to invited talks our program also includes an impressive selection of live cases, broadcast directly from operating rooms in Montréal and from our Symposium partners in Canada and the USA. Satellite symposia along with Academic and Industry Buzz, presented by academics plus pharmaceutical and biomedical professionals from North America and around the globe, round out a full two-and-a-half day schedule.

On Friday evening a special Gala Dinner is planned as a taste of the gastronomic delights of our city. One of North America’s oldest cities, Montréal offers visitors a treasure trove of pleasures in dining, culture, history and nature as well as a full gamut of nightclubs, casinos and shopping opportunities to make your stay unforgettable.

We look forward to seeing you here!
