The day was very well organized and contained some very useful information. The highlight of day was a talk from a cardiologist about the use of cardiac markers etc from a medical point of view. It was a surprise to learn that shared a common view that doctors are requesting tests without any need, that a proper clinical history is taking second place to a comprehensive set of blood tests.

As a whole day, I don’t think there is much room for improvement. The day covered technical and medical aspects of heart disease. The venue was very good and situated in a very accessible location.

If the chance arises for you to take part in one of these sessions, I would recommend it.
