Cardiovascular diseases remain to be a major health concern worldwide and the leading cause of premature death globally. Our nation struggles with the socioeconomic impacts of cardiovascular diseases and constantly makes changes in its healthcare systems in an effort to reduce this burden. Therefore, health care providers are expected to manage this problem optimally through updated knowledge on cardiovascular diseases.

To facilitate this need, the indonesian cardiocerebrovascular society (ics) with cardiology division and continuing medical education (cme) unit of the department of internal medicine, universitas indonesia-cipto mangunkusumo national referral hospital will be holding the annual scientific meeting, holistic approach in cardiovascular diseases (hopecardis). This event hopefully will facilitate health care providers with updates on breakthroughs in cardiovascular researches.
