Welcome
Dear friends and colleagues,
It is a pleasure to invite you to the 45th Annual Meeting of the Association of European Paediatric Cardiology in Granada. We hope this congress gives you the opportunity to share the best of science and education in paediatric cardiology. The congress theme is ìthe right ventricleî, the main ventricular chamber in many congenital heart diseases and still a challenging topic.
Wonderful Granada in Andalusia, Spain, will be the host city of our congress. Granada was a Moorish kingdom for about seven hundred years, and signs of its past still remain in the narrow winding streets of its oldest districts and of course in the Alhambra Palace, one of the most beautiful surviving palaces of Arab culture, designated as Patrimony of Humanity by the UNESCO. May is a beautiful month in Granada where its nice weather shows the city at its most attractive view.
The Granada Congress & Exhibition Centre is designed to achieve the utmost and offers the highest standard for the celebration of events. We are proud to host this meetingİfrom 18 to 21 May 2011 in Granada and we will do our best to achieve a successful meeting with an excellent scientific programme.
Looking forward to meeting you, see you in Granada!
María del Mar Rodríguez Vázquez
