It’s exactly one month until the World Congress of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Health 2016 and we look forward to seeing you there. You don’t have to be a WHF member to attend: it’s your chance to learn from world leaders, network with other specialists, share ideas and be inspired by best practice in cardiovascular health from other countries.
