Abstract:
As usual, numerous papers published in 2017 contributed to optimize the management of patients in all clinical cardiologic fields. It is of course impossible to summarize them all in such an article. Subjects and papers were thus selected if they were thought to be particularly important for non-cardiologist physicians, especially general practitioners. The authors would also like to take the opportunity of this article to honor the memory of Pr Daniel Wagner who unfortunately passed away after less than six months at the head of our Cardiology Department. He was well recognized for his generosity as well as his clinical and scientific competence. This article is dedicated to him.
