You are invited to attend the 5th Biennial Meeting of The Society for Heart Valve Disease to be held in Berlin, Germany between the 27th and 30th June 2009. For the first time this will be a joint meeting with the Heart Valve Society of America which represents the global effort to understand and treat valve disease and also to join forces and to provide education around the world . This meeting will provide an opportunity for presentation and discussion of work at the leading edge of this expanding and multi-disciplined field. Experiences can be shared with a worldwide audience on the topics ranging from basic science and developmental biology to the clinical treatment of valve disease and updates on the latest clinical trials. There will be a specific focus on percutaneous heart valve surgery, epidemiology, rheumatic heart disease, functional mitral regurgitation, anticoagulation, mechanical, bioprosthetic, biological valve substitutes and tissue engineering. The multi-disciplinary character of the Societies will create a unique forum and opportunity for a broad exchange of ideas relating to heart valve disease. In addition, we are looking forward to strengthening the bonds between the societies - the city of Berlin will be an ideal venue for this exciting occasion.
