International Cardiovascular Development, Anatomy, and Regeneration (ICDAR) Community Meeting: Prague 2024

The International Cardiovascular Anatomy, Development, and Regeneration meeting was held from 18-20 September 2024, in Prague, Czech Republic, supported by the European Society of Cardiology's Working Group on Development, Anatomy, and Pathology. Hosted at the Institute of Anatomy, First Faculty of Medicine, the event began with a hands-on workshop on normal and malformed human hearts, covering morphology, echocardiographic imaging, and rare congenital cases. The session allowed participants to examine and image both normal and malformed hearts. The main conference featured nine platform sessions on topics including pediatric cardiology, cardiac progenitors biology, congenital heart disease mechanisms, and cardiac regeneration. Highlights included two keynote lectures on cardiac genetics and development. In keeping with an established, decades-long tradition, the conference is a well-attended event, marking significant engagement in the latest cardiovascular research. The next appointment will be in Granada, Spain, 15-17 October 2025.
