15 doctors from the Cardiology Clinic, headed by Prof. Yana Simova, participated in the National Jubilee Congress of Cardiology in Plovdiv. The impressive delegation delivered two lectures presented by Prof. Simova, one clinical case presentation and 12 abstracts presented in the poster sessions. Interesting clinical cases as well as long-term projects of the Cardiology Clinic of great public and social importance were shared.
Presentations on identification of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia by cascade screening, screening for Fabry disease in a high-risk group of patients, systemic inflammation and atherosclerotic diseases, and difficulties in diagnosing patients with cardiac amyloidosis were of great interest. The cardiologists also paid special attention to the long-term follow-up of patients with unexplained syncope using an implantable loop recorder, and the multiple manifestations of cardiotoxicity in a patient with lung cancer.
All the developments that were presented at the congress are the result of the good collaboration of the multidisciplinary teams of ‘Heart and Brain’ Pleven – cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, neurosurgeons, imaging specialists, oncologists, neurologists, vascular surgeons, immunologists.
“The National Congress of Cardiology in Plovdiv was extremely well organized, for which the newly elected President of the Society of Cardiologists – Prof. Dr. Ivan Gruev has a great merit. The attendance exceeded our expectations, the halls were full, including standing room only. All delegates had the opportunity to enjoy an elite international presence on site in Plovdiv, with leading experts in various fields of cardiology presenting their expertise. We, the cardiologists from ‘Heart and Brain’, Pleven, are proud to have been part of this prestigious event and to have had the opportunity to share our experience and the results of our work in front of such an audience”, said Prof. Simova.
