THE ART AND SCIENCE OF CARDIOLOGY Junction of East and West

Recent developments in Cardiology have resulted in new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to improve clinical outcomes. The acceleration of new science has demanded higher quality educational programs that provide focused updates and allow for intellectual exchange amongst their participants. This program will bring together experts from all over the world, and participants from across the Asia Pacific region – a heady congregation that promises to stimulate and enchant all things Cardiology. As we dive into the clinical research, clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements, healthcare providers in the cardiovascular ecosystem seek clarity when making the best clinical management plan for each patient. Therein, lies the opportunity for each clinician to practice the art of medicine. The ability to marry both clinical data and each patient’s individual needs or circumstance – the voice of the modern patient now carries greater weight. Therefore, as we come to the end of the calendar year, we now take stock of what 2025 has brought us – here at a weekend of scientific exchange and networking, in the cultural hub of Asia – Malaysia. Here, at the junction where East and West meet, we thank the Fondazione Menarini, for making this possible. We look forward to welcoming all of you to Kuala Lumpur!"
