Abstract:
The European Society of Cardiology annual congress is the premier global platform for dissemination and unraveling major scientific advances in the field of cardiology. Each year a myriad number of scientific ideas are exchanged at this meeting and many major path-breaking clinical trials are presented that have the potential to alter our practice. Last year was not different and more than 30 clinical trials spanning various facets of cardiology were unveiled and discussed-heart failure, lipid lowering, coronary intervention, intracoronary imaging, cardiomyopathies, anticoagulation, atrial fibrillation, antiplatelet therapy, etc. We present a brief summary of 10 major trials which in the view of authors have the potential for impacting daily cardiology practice. In each study, we also attempt to provide a contemporary perspective and the way forward. We aim to provide a glimpse on the major advances in the field of cardiology in the past year.
