European Society of Cardiology
The first European Society of Cardiology (ESC) was held in London in 1951. ESC was organized by 14 European countries and has steadily grown to become the premier society for the study and treatment of heart-related matters. ESC encompasses all heart-related professionals. The European Heart House in Lille, France was opened in 1993. ESC provides advanced educational courses, symposiums and other resources and organizes a number of congresses for presenting the latest research on all things heart-related. ESC is an advocate and advises governments on heart health matters. ESC publishes numerous journals including but not limited to European Heart Journal, Cardiovascular Research, Eurospace, European Journal of Echocardiography and more. ESC is a world-respected society for information relating to cardiology. The primary purpose of ESC is to prevent (treat) cardiovascular disease.
