ESC Preventive Cardiology 2025: Milan Set to Host a Groundbreaking Congress on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Innovations

(IN BRIEF) The ESC Preventive Cardiology 2025 Congress will be held in Milan from 3 to 5 April 2025 and is organized by the European Association of Preventive Cardiology, part of the ESC. The event will feature over 120 sessions that include live case studies, interactive workshops, and discussions on modern risk estimation tools, heart health across varied populations, and innovative preventive interventions. A key component is a press conference on the Italian Strategic Plan for Cardiovascular Health, which will discuss Italy’s efforts to reduce cardiovascular disease. The congress will also address evolving risk factors, the latest technological and pharmacological advancements, and the importance of data-driven strategies in preventing cardiovascular conditions. Chair Nicolle Kränkel emphasized the focus on real-world data, patient empowerment, and cutting-edge innovations. Additionally, several sessions will cover topics such as obesity-related heart disease, cancer therapy-induced cardiovascular toxicity, gender differences in addiction risks, digital cardiac rehabilitation, and artificial intelligence in cardiology. The ESC reinforces its support for national initiatives to lower cardiovascular disease rates and offers free press accreditation to eligible media professionals.

(PRESS RELEASE) SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS, 21-Mar-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — The ESC Preventive Cardiology 2025 Congress, organized by the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC), a division of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), is set to take place in Milan, Italy, from 3 to 5 April 2025. This premier event on preventive cardiology will convene leading experts across the spectrum—from public health specialists and primary and secondary prevention professionals to rehabilitation and sports cardiology practitioners. Over the course of three days, attendees can expect more than 120 sessions featuring live case demonstrations, interactive workshops, and in-depth discussions on topics such as risk estimation tools, heart health across diverse populations, and breakthrough interventions.

A highlight of the congress is a dedicated press conference on the Italian Strategic Plan for Cardiovascular Health, scheduled for 3 April from 10:45 to 11:30. This session will spotlight Italy’s comprehensive efforts to curb cardiovascular disease through enhanced prevention measures. The event also promises to delve into current challenges such as shifting risk factor profiles, the integration of new technologies, and the role of pharmacological advancements, while also examining how innovative screening and risk estimation algorithms can contribute to better cardiovascular outcomes.

Nicolle Kränkel, Chair of the Congress Programme Committee, explained, “Our goal is to explore effective strategies for cardiovascular prevention in today’s complex environment—addressing challenges such as budget constraints, social inequalities, and misinformation while leveraging the latest advancements in diagnostics, data science, and pharmacology. We are focusing on three key areas: analyzing real-world data on risk factors and socio-economic influences, understanding what motivates patients to embrace heart-healthy lifestyles, and pushing the envelope with groundbreaking innovations in care.”

Among the not-to-miss sessions are discussions on the interconnection between obesity and cardiovascular disease, personalized approaches to mitigating cancer therapy-induced cardiovascular toxicity, gender-specific addiction risks, the implementation of digital cardiac rehabilitation via wearables and remote coaching, and the role of artificial intelligence in refining decision-making processes in preventive cardiology.

Given that cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death within the European Union, including in Italy, the ESC is committed to supporting national initiatives aimed at reducing this burden. In collaboration with the Italian Federation of Cardiology, the congress will feature a press conference dedicated to the National Strategic Plan for Cardiovascular Health 2024-2027. The ESC stands firmly behind these national efforts, which are vital in the fight against cardiovascular disease.
