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.

Dear esteemed colleagues and friends,

It is with great enthusiasm that we extend our warm invitation to you for the upcoming ESOT Congress, set to take place in the vibrant city of London, United Kingdom on 29 June–2 July 2025.
As we gather for this prestigious international event, we will continue the established ESOT tradition of fostering collaboration and innovation across the continent. The focus of the congress will be two-fold: an exchange of knowledge in the ever-evolving field of organ transplantation and a call to arms on the most pressing global challenge of our time – climate change.

Our core congress theme, ‘Nurturing a sustainable transplantation journey’ reflects our commitment to considerate practices and long-term sustainability in both transplantation methods and associated environmental impacts. We will delve into this concept throughout the congress, acknowledging the intersection of environmental stewardship and the advancement of transplant care. With the guidance of an international lineup of experts, we will examine the impact of global warming on each step of organ transplantation and explore innovative strategies to make the whole journey for transplant patients more efficient and environmentally responsible.

London, a city steeped in rich history and cultural diversity, provides an ideal backdrop for our congress. From the iconic landmarks to the cutting-edge medical institutions, London encapsulates the spirit of progress and enlightenment, making it a fitting host for discussions on the future of transplantation.

Join us in London for the ESOT Congress 2025, where we will not only fine-tune our knowledge on the latest medical breakthroughs, but also forge a path towards a greener and more sustainable future for organ transplantation.
