Letter from the Editor

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your interest in this edition of Medicom’s Conference Report covering the annual European Society of Cardiology Congress 2022 in beautiful Barcelona. This year’s meeting was rich with new scientific statements and guidelines as well as cutting edge science.

In the following pages you can read about new Society recommendations with regards to management of patients with ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death prevention, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiovascular management of patients around non-cardiac surgery. Of great interest is the first statement on cardio-oncology, a complex and critical area of clinical need for cardiovascular clinicians. In addition, you will find new original research and late breaking science in heart failure, anticoagulation, prevention, chronic coronary syndromes, and artificial intelligence and digital health.

As always, our summaries are written independently and are peer-reviewed for balance. We hope you find this edition informative, engaging, and balanced and thank you again for your readership.

Sincerely,

Marc P. Bonaca MD MPH
