INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF CARDIOLOGY MEMORIAL AWARDS

The International Academy of Cardiology has established five awards to honor the memory of distinguished colleagues who made a major contribution to Medicine and Cardiology and who were members of the faculty for previous International Academy of Cardiology meetings. As in previous years, the recipients were selected by a very prestigious Awards Committee. The awards for 2018 will be presented at the Opening Ceremony of the Congress.
