Five areas of focus at world’s largest heart conference said to mark ‘turning point’ in cardiology and patient care
Doctors, scientists and researchers have shared new findings on ways to tackle heart conditions at the 2025 European Society of Cardiology annual meeting, the world’s largest heart conference.
The event in Madrid was attended by 33,000 health professionals from 169 countries. More than 1,100 sessions featured “gamechanger” research, new guidelines and groundbreaking trials.
“This year’s ESC congress marks a turning point: cardiology has never been more dynamic, interdisciplinary, and patient-centred,” said Prof Felix Mahfoud, chair of the ESC communications committee.
“Never before have we seen such a high number of late-breaking trials from across all fields of cardiology presented and simultaneously published in top journals, informing clinical decision-making and improving patient care.”
