The 9th Annual

Great Debates & Innovations in Cardiology

 

Dear Friends:

It is my pleasure to invite you to The 9th Annual Great Debates & Innovations in Cardiology, which will take place on Friday, May 4, 2012 at the Sutton Place Hotel in Toronto. This symposium is an overview of the current state of cardiology practice, and provides clinically meaningful debates as well as discussions of current challenges in cardiology. 

The symposium will provide state of the art lectures and case studies as well as stimulating and controversial discussions, presented by prominent leaders, friends and colleagues in the field. It will be co-sponsored by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, the Canadian Society of Echocardiography, and Mount Sinai Hospital Division of Cardiology. The program is accredited for up to 8.0 Section 1 credits from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. 

Please take a moment to browse through the brochure/program. I am sure you will find the lectures, case studies and debates enlightening and exciting. 

I hope you are able to join us on May 4, 2012 and it will be my pleasure to welcome you. 

Thank you and with kind regards, 

Sincerely yours, Zion Sasson, M.D.
