Dear Colleagues and Friends,

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, FESCPresident Mediterranean Cardiology Meeting

Sheraton Catania Hotel & Conference CenterJust 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.

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.

PRACTICALINFORMATION

BY SHIPWant to reach Catania by sea? From Northern Europe and Italy, comfortable Tirrenia ships leave the Genoa port and

reach Palermo in about 17/18 hours. But there are also frequent ferries from Naples to Milazzo (about two-hours drive to Catania), and even a daily one from Ravenna (on the Northern Adriatic coast) directly to Catania. Speedboats and catamarans from Malta to Catania are also available on a daily basis.Catania Port Authority Via Dusmet - Ph. +39 095 535888 / 536031Harbour Office Via Dusmet - Ph. +39 095 531667 Fax +39 095 533962AMT Alibus service from the port to the airport every 20 minutes.

BY CARBoth Sicily and Catania can be reached by car form the main Italian cities through an exhaustive highways’ network (green

road signs). From Northern Italy, you can drive along the highway A1 through Naples to Salerno; from Salerno (Amalfi Riviera and Capri area) take the A3 highway (free of charge) towards Reggio Calabria. Exit at VILLA S.GIOVANNI-SICILIA to get to the harbour where very frequent ferries connect the mainland to Sicily (namely to the city of Messina), 24 hours a day. From Messina, take the A18 highway to Catania: an hour drive and you’ll arrive there. If you come from Palermo, take the A20 highway to Messina, then the A18 highway to Catania exit.

HOW TO REACH CATANIACatania is easily reachable by any means of transport - fitting any traveller’s budget from all over the world.

BY PLANECatania Fontanarossa International Airport is perfectly located in the outskirts of the city: a bus service (AMT ALIBUS

BY TRAINCatania is perfectly connected with the rest of Sicily and with the biggest Italian cities by train, too, thanks to the
