What Will Change
the Future of Cardiology?
this publication is supported by
seRVieR in the form of an
unrestricted educational grant.
Leading experts in cardiology shared their visions for the future of cardiovascular
disease management. Sophisticated imaging techniques, interventional technologies,
and medical therapies are transforming the identification and treatment of arrhythmias,
valvular diseases, and coronary artery disease. At the same time a shift from a focus
on treating disease to health promotion and disease prevention promises to reduce
avoidable deaths from heart disease. See page 9.
