On 5-8 December  was held the World Congress on Cardiology and Cardiovascular Health in Dubai. The Congress was organized by the Wolrd Heart Federation.

The World Heart Federation (WHF) continues to be the principal representative body for the cardiovascular community, including the national and continental cardiology scientific societies and foundations, and representing the scientific, medical and professional communities, as well as patients and charitable organizations.

Head of the Department of Cardiology Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Educarion prof.  Dolzhenko M. M.  made a presentation «Levels of anxiety and depression depending on central hemodynamics indices in pations with CAD by Euroaspire IV in Ukrainian cohort».

Next year's World Congress of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Health, in partnership with the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), will be the first under a new model, which will see the congress taking place every year, rather than every two years, in collaboration with another cardiology meeting. The main spotlight of the Paris congress will be Global Health. 

The World Congress of Cardiology has always represented a unique opportunity to focus on areas that are not necessarily included in the major regional meetings, including countries with emerging economies and how we approach CVD-related problems in these countries. We look forward to working closely with the ESC on what is sure to be a remarkable global meeting.
