CATANIA APRIL 18-20 ITALY
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
2015
I would like to invite you to attend the 7th edition of the Mediterranean Cardiology
Meeting (MCM), April 18-20, 2015 in Catania (Italy).
Over 1200 participants attended our last meeting with also strong international participation
which confirmed the highest interest aroused by this biannual meeting.
An outstanding Faculty, selected between the leading experts on these fields, will provide the
highest quality teaching with new interactive programs and happenings.
Thorough multidisciplinary Courses, Symposia, Debates on Controversial Topics, Clinical
Tutorials, Luncheon Panels, Focus on, Meet-the-Expert Sessions, Interactive Cases-Review
from Faculty and Attendance,Televoter Sessions, Intercultural Exchanges,Abstract and Poster
Sessions the meeting will highlight the current state and the prospective developments for
the treatment of: Atrial Fibrillation, Sudden Cardiac Death, Heart Failure, Acute Coronary
Syndromes, Global Cardiovascular Prevention, Arterial Hypertension, Pharmacological
Therapy, Syncope, Congenital Heart Disease, Cardiac Monitoring Technologies and
Genetics.
The main target of the meeting is to give the latest update on Clinical &
Interventional Cardiology and it is addressed to cardiologists, internists, first aid
clinicians, physicians of general medicine, fellows, nurses and technicians with high interest
in the whole management of cardiac pathologies.
Catania,as one of the most famous historical and cultural locations in the whole Mediterranean
area, is the ideal setting for this meeting. It is a particularly lively and fascinating town,
rich in marvellous examples of typically Sicilian baroque style, as well as one of the main
economic and educational centres in the island, and a key hub of the technological industry.
This beautiful city, full of colours, perfumes and flavours, is suspended between the deep blue
of the Ionian Sea and the majestic shape of Etna
volcano, which dominates the town from afar.
Looking forward to seeing you in Catania,
sincerely
Michele M. Gulizia, MD, FESC

Catania & Congress Venue
Catania is undoubtely one of the most important cities in the whole
Mediterranean area, both in terms of cultural and historical point of
view. It is one of the few cities in Italy that offers a variety of landscapes
condensed in one site. Located on the east coast of Sicily (which
represents the metropolitan area with the highest population density),
Catania has ancient origins since its foundation dates back to 729 BC.
During its history Catania has been a constant point of reference for
the entire Mediterranean area, especially from an artistic and cultural
point of view: it is here that in 1434 the oldest university of Sicily was
founded. The remains of several ruins still enrich the heritage of the
town and surrounding areas, despite Catania was repeatedly destroyed
by violent volcanic eruptions caused by the Etna volcano (the most
impressive occurred in 1669) and by devastating earthquakes (the more
catastrophic one occurred in 1693). It is from this tragic event that the
city and its people were able to get up in a truly unique and admirable
way. A work of reconstruction with few equals in the world led to the
blossoming of the famous “Sicilian Baroque” style of architecture that
identifies more than any other the fantasy, the imaginative power and the
passion for beauty of Catania and its inhabitants. Therefore in 2006 the
splendid baroque center of Catania became a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, along with seven towns of the Val di Noto, Sicily. Today, Catania is a
city full of colors, scents and flavors - a lively and surprising, suspended
between the magic of the blue Ionian Sea and the imposing outline of
Etna volcano and often snowy, which dominates the city from above.

Sheraton Catania Hotel & Conference Center
Just few minutes from the historic center of Catania, the Sheraton Hotel
offers high level of hospitality with a wide range of business and spare time
facilities. The Sheraton Catania is one of the largest conference centers in
eastern Sicily, with an area of 724 square meters in 6 modular meeting
rooms of different sizes and acoustically isolated. All the 162 rooms and 7
suites - walking through a panoramic elevator - are characterized by colors
that come into perfect harmony with the landscape of the Mediterranean
area. Each room is equipped with all facilities and comforts offering the
highest standards of quality and safety. The conference area, personalized
for the Mediterranean Cardiology Meeting 2015, provides a great learning
experience in an extremely pleasant and comfortable site.
