Greetings from ACVS INDIA & FACTS FOUNDATION. Welcome back to the 2013 Edition of ACVS INDIA. Inspired by overwhelming response and support from cardiology colleagues across the country, as well as from neighboring Asia Pacific Countries, FACTS FOUNDATION, INDIA in partnership with the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), USA bring you this year s ACVS INDIA 2013 at HICC, Hyderabad from August 8th to 11th, 2013. We are pleased that this year all Academic Institutes as well as many other high volume medical centers within our country have come forward to be a part of this academic feast. With this support, we are sure that ACVS INDIA 2013 will be India s premier Interventional experience. Continuing the past trend, live cases will be transmitted from local, national and international sites. All academic institutes of excellence within India will be represented. The talented physicians at these sites will demonstrate basic and advanced techniques for coronary, peripheral and structural intervention. As in previous years, Dr. Martin B Leon along with other CRF & Columbia colleagues, will attend and participate actively in the meeting. In addition, this year there will be small group sessions to allow more direct interaction with internationally renowned faculty from both India as well as abroad. The Fellows Course on 8th August, 2013 expands this year and will have both Echo & Angio CD rapid fire sessions, where trainees will have the ability to get advice from masters in their respective fields. The basic exam oriented training curriculum and case discussions, which were very popular last year among the fellows, will continue. The CV Nurse Technician Symposia with ACLS/BCLS training sessions will continue to provide further education to the cath lab and CCU staff. SCCT Faculty from the USA will conduct hands on training sessions for interested & pre registered delegates on August 9th & 10th 2013. GCP guidelines workshop for Clinical research coordinators & EC members from all across the country is also being planned to promote high quality clinical research within our country. We request all colleagues across the country to send us interesting Angio CD s for the challenging cases sessions and any new research protocols for presentation in the innovative trial sessions. Please register before the early bird registration deadline of June 30th 2013 to get the benefit of subsidized registrations. After the deadline all the delegates will need to register at the full price, which without the subsidy will be double the early bird registration charges (Rs. 20,000 per delegate vs. Rs. 10,000 per delegate). We hope to see all of you at India s Best Conference Venue - HICC (Hyderabad International Convention Center) - to experience the conference proceedings on Asia Pacific s Biggest Screen, from August 8th to 11th, 2013. Thanking you all Dr. A. Sreenivas Kumar Dr. Susheel Kumar Kodali Programme Directors, ACVS INDIA 2013 The Pre-Conference Workshops, which once again are aimed at giving an in-depth and a hands-on training experience for the select group of interested pre-registered delegates will be conducted on 8th August, 2013. This year s workshops will be on Acute Stroke Interventions & Venous Interventions and will be coordinated by none other than Dr. Horst Sievert from Germany who is a pioneer in the field of cardiovascular sciences and has been at the forefront of many innovations. The goal of these workshops is to teach the basics in a hands on manner so that you may return to your institutions with the knowledge needed to start your own program. ACVS India for the first time will have BCVS sessions for interested physician colleagues to provide content on key relevant topics in cardiology for general physicians as well as clinical cardiologists. These sessions will be held in partnership with Association of Physicians of India. ACVS India for Surgeons will continue this year. We are hoping that our cardiothoracic surgeon colleagues from across the country will join us once again this year. The heart team concept continues to grow internationally and the team concept will become the model of health care delivery in the future. We encourage all physicians, no matter their specialty, to work together to deliver the best possible care to their patients. Conference Venue: HICC, Hyderabad
