DEAR COLLEAGUES!

 

Azerbaijan Society for Cardiovascular Surgery is hosting the 6th International Congress “Baku Heart Days”, dedicated to the memory of National Leader Heydar Aliyev, in conjunction with the 15th Annual Meeting of the Euro-Asian Bridge Society, on June 7-9, 2019.

AzSCVS has organized and successfully implemented the International Congress “Baku Heart Days”, which has already become a tradition with the participation of cardiovascular surgeons and cardiologists invited from around the world since 2009. Participants from Azerbaijan and foreign countries discussed the contem- porary problems of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery.

Special attention paid by President Ilham Aliyev to this field as a logical continuation of the healthcare policy of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev, enabled such rapid development of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery in the country. The increasing interest of the international community towards these congresses, which are a great contribution into the development of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, shows that we are on the right path.

​

While developing the program for the congress, we also have tried to cover the most disputable problems of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery and maintain a high scientific-practical level of the congress. Traditionally, both local and foreign specialists will be able to send their abstracts electronically. These abstracts will be printed in a special booklet of the congress and distributed among all participants. I believe the practical course on “Surgical Anatomy of the Heart”, which we will hold on animal hearts, will be especially beneficial for our young colleagues and will enhance the scientific-practical significance of the “Baku Heart Days” International Congress.

At the same time, this congress will enable the Azerbaijani specialists to discuss the latest achievements in cardiology with the leading experts of the world. Our foreign guests will have a chance to discover the rich history and cultural heritage of Azerbaijan through our social program.

As the chairman of the Azerbaijan Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, both personally and on behalf of the members of the organizing committee of the congress, I invite my colleagues in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery to the “Baku Heart Days” 6th International Congress in June, 2019.

Looking forward to meet in Baku,

​

Prof. Dr. Kamran Kazimoglu MUSAYEV

Chairman of AzSCVS
