Dear friends,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate at
the 17th EUROCHAP, thus the 17th Congress of the European
Chapter of the International Union of Angiology - a Society
for Vascular Medicine and Surgery and Vascular Interventions,
to be held in Nicosia, Cyprus in April 2007.
New developments have occurred during the last years that
challenged our understanding of vascular diseases and opened
new horizons for a better care of our patients. The
multidisciplinary character of the International Union of
Angiology and the EUROCHAP provides a unique forum for
scientific discussions of all critical issues concerning the
management and care of vascular disorders. Persons involved
with research in basic sciences, genetics, epidemiology,
physiology and biophysics, will discuss with the clinicians,
angiologists, vascular surgeons and interventionalists,
cardiologists, neurologists and internists, the new exciting
developments in an effort to brake the boundaries between
different specialties and traditional attitudes that may exist
in the treatment of patients with vascular disorders.
Nicosia (Lefkosia) the hosting town is the capital of Cyprus
and one of the oldest cities in our part of the world. Today
Lefkosia is a sophisticated and cosmopolitan place in the
Eastern Mediterranean, although still divided by a green
invasion line. Nicosia is rich in history and culture and
combines its historic past with the amenities of a modern
city.
The Congress will take place in spring, the most beautiful
season in Cyprus, where the traditional hospitality is in
harmony with the ancient tradition.
I am sure that your stay will be pleasant and unforgettable
and the Organising Committee and myself look forward to
welcome you in Cyprus.
N.S. Angelides MD PhD, FRCS
