Importance and Scope:
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for people of most racial/ethnic groups in the United States, including African Americans, Hispanics and Whites. For Asian Americans or Pacific Islanders and American Indians or Alaska Natives, heart disease is second only to cancer. Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, killing nearly 380,000 people annually. In the United States, someone has a heart attack every 34 seconds. Every 60 seconds, someone in the United States dies from a heart disease-related event. About 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year–that’s 1 in every 4 deaths. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. More than half of the deaths due to heart disease in 2009 were in men. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease, killing over 370,000 people annually. Every year about 735,000 Americans have a heart attack. Of these, 525,000 are a first heart attack and 210,000 happen in people who have already had a heart attack.
Diagnosis of IHD is with an electrocardiogram, blood tests (cardiac markers), cardiac
stress testing or a coronary angiogram. Depending on the symptoms and risk, treatment may be with medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (angioplasty) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Recent research efforts focus on new angiogenic treatment modalities (angiogenesis) and various (adult)
stem cell therapies. The field of angiogenesis is rapidly progressing, yet the systematic application of current knowledge to improve patient care remains a formidable challenge. National symposiums and Workshops provide a dedicated forum for the advancement, implementation and exchange of information about angiogenesis and its allied areas.
Around 10 National symposiums and Workshops are going to be held across the globe which includes “13th Holistic Approaches In Cardiovascular Diseases Symposium 2014 (HOPECARDIS 2014)”, “The 14th Annual International Symposium on Congenital Heart Disease” and “31st Annual Symposium
cardiology for the Practitioner” and many more. Some of the Heart disease associations are the European Society of Cardiology exists primarily to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Europe. The European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) goal is to provide a framework for concerted scientific and clinical discussion of new developments in basic research, diagnosis and therapy of atherosclerosis. The National Heart and Lung Institute, its main aim is to carry out research, development and education in cardiovascular and respiratory science.
