About

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, with about 18 million deaths per year. This justifies the adage that one has the age of one’s arteries and explains that researchers work tirelessly to understand how the cardiovascular system develops and functions. Therefore, we intend to organize a summer programme of learning, teaching and training which aims at raising students' awareness of the new pathogenic mechanisms involved in vascular disease, new investigational tools and potential targeted treatments, with the final purpose to promote excellence in the field of Vascular Medicine.
