Course objectives

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death and disability in most European countries. Secondary prevention has become a cornerstone of treatment, but a majority of patients do not achieve guideline standards, predisposing them to progression of disease, recurrent events, and heart failure. Modern preventive cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation programmes, appropriately adapted to medical and cultural settings, have the potential to effectuate a healthier lifestyle, better risk factor control and adherence with cardioprotective medication. However, in most European countries,

less than 50% of cardiac patients attend these programmes. There is a clear need to improve the situation by increasing the number of programmes, facilitating the access to these programmes, and tailoring these programmes to the requirements of the patients. Moreover, the fixed-term and often centre-based programmes have to be modified based on patients preferences and provide concepts for long-term management. The World Health Organisation underscores in their action plan for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases the importance of improving quality and coverage of secondary prevention and rehabilitation following heart attacks and stroke.

Target audience

This course is addressed to the multidisciplinary team of specialists working in the field of secondary prevention, cardiac rehabilitation, and sports cardiology, encompassing cardiologists, sports physicians, physiotherapists, sports scientists and nurses.

The event “Preventive Cardiology, Sports Cardiology & Exercise based Rehabilitation: From Set-up to New Frontiers” is accredited by the European Union of Medical Specialists - The European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (UEMS-EACCME) for 24 hours of External CME credits.

We thank you in advance for your support.

In 2023, the EPA will be at the Palais des Congrès of Paris. We are all looking forward going back to an in-person event and to meeting face to face to discuss the latest scientific updates in mental health.

2023 will be a special year, and we have therefore chosen a special destination. For the first time in its history, the EPA Congress will take place in Paris.

Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is known for the Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame cathedral, and the Eiffel tower.

The 31st EPA Congress will take place on 25-28 March 2023 guided by the motto “Social Cohesion, a Common Goal for Psychiatry”.

International experts will gather to discuss the newest developments in European psychiatry. It’s important, now more than ever, to get together and talk about mental health care.

We look forward to seeing you in the city of lights!
