INVITATION

Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of the Czech Society of Cardiology Committee and on behalf of the congress organizational committee let us invite you to the 17th Annual Congress of the Czech Society of Cardiology, which is going to take place in May 10-13, 2009 in Brno. We are convinced that the beautiful days of May are in your minds closely associated with our annual congress, with the exhibition grounds in Brno and its surroundings. The congress is a place where cardiologists of all specializations, but also internists, general practitioners and health care workers meet and thanks to its postgraduate character it is a unique opportunity to hear about new diagnostic and health care methods in cardiology and also a place to find new professional and personal acquaintances. We are happy to welcome our friends from Slovakia, who regularly participate in the congress. Moreover, as traditionally, also renowned cardiologists from other countries will have presentations.
The CSC Congress is not only a place where you can obtain valuable information for your practice but also a place where you can share your experience through active participation.  We believe that you will enrich the congress program with your active contribution. 
Czech cardiology is able to compete successfully with the world top cardiology workplaces in many fields.  The scientific and technical progress brings new and new knowledge and it is our obligation to follow these developments and to put them in practice as fast as possible. Our annual congress is just the place where the latest contributions to the knowledge on cardiology are to be presented for a wide professional discussion.

We look forward to you. Come and share the nice congress days with us.

Prof.MUDr. Jindřich Špinar, CSc., FESC Organizational Committee Chairman	Doc.MUDr. Václav Chaloupka, CSc., FESC Czech Society of Cardiology Chairman
