The 2019 Scientific Meeting in Lugano, Switzerland was a very successful meeting. The scientific program covered almost the whole spectrum of cardiovascular pharmacotherapy given by a formidable faculty including world leaders, among many others Eugene Braunwald, Salim Yusuf, and Peter Libby.
The program included talks given by the discoverers of PCSK9 and rivaroxaban molecules – Catherine Boileau and Elisabeth Pezborn respectively, and an unforgettable face-to-face debate session between Stefan Windecker and Filippo Crea on the role of optimal medical care versus interventional treatment in stable coronary artery disease.
The Henry Neufeld Lecture and the Distinguished Eugene Braunwald Lecture, given by Professor Salim Yusuf and Eugene Braunwald crowned the two days meeting in the beautiful mediterranean part of Southern Switzerland.
