Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology/AHS Congress – Beijing and Virtual

Due to the current global COVID-19 pandemic, after careful consideration, the Organizing Committee has decided that the Great Wall International Conference of Cardiology 2021 (GW-ICC 2021) and the Asian Heart Society Conference 2021 (AHS 2021) will be conducted in a hybrid format, occurring both in-person and virtually on October 29-31, 2021 in Beijing. We sincerely look forward to your participation!

After thirty-two unforgettable years, the Great Wall International Conference of Cardiology has stayed true to its original aspiration of focusing on delivering its core value of “quality and service” and adhering to its purpose of “introduction, innovation, cooperation, and development.” Unswerving in its advocacy for public welfare, education on prevention, standardization of guidelines and clinical practice, as well as fostering innovation, GW-ICC continues to advocate for improving returning to humanities, returning to clinical practice, strengthening healthcare practitioners’ basic skills and strengthening the quality of primary-level practice.

After these 32 years, the GW-ICC has become very active internationally, through its cooperation with leading societies and peer-review journals throughout the world. While GW-ICC has always valued the advancement of cardiology, it has also vigorously supported advancing interdisciplinary approaches to treating patients and delivering care. Over the years, we have sought to emphasize cardiovascular disease treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation, thus developing an international-quality academic conference with Chinese characteristics. Our theme of “healthy ideals, ideal health” is in line with our nation’s “healthy China” strategy. Together the strong support of colleagues at home and abroad, the Great Wall International Conference of Cardiology has become an internationally recognized academic platform for sharing achievements, exchanging experience and meeting friends. Furthermore, the Congress is one of the most influential comprehensive cardiovascular events in the Asian-Pacific region.

Finally, on behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite all cardiovascular fellows to participate in this meeting. I would also express my sincere gratitude to all colleagues, domestic and foreign academic institutions, societies and enterprises for their strong support. I also wish to extend my respect to those colleagues who are still fighting at the front lines of the epidemic. Adhering to the idea of “steady development, refinement and innovation”, we wish to build a “Great Wall” to defend cardiovascular health under joint efforts.

Lastly, we look forward to the gathering of cardiovascular colleagues at home and abroad, online and offline, on October 29-31 in Beijing!
