Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is increasing at an alarming rate in India and other South East Asian countries. A huge chunk of national and personal income is spent on treatment costs. Hence Prevention of CVD is of great importance in a developing country like India. The CSI Preventive Council conducts a national conference on Prevention of CVD every two years to help physicians understand and address this issue. This year the conference is been held in the beautiful city of Guwahati, the Gateway to the North East.
On behalf of the organizing committee, it gives us immense pleasure to invite you for this conference being held from 18th to 20th October, 2019. The scientific agenda has been prepared in a unique way to make it interesting in the form of case discussions, interactive sessions, debates and workshops. The theme of the conference is “Translating Evidence into Practice”.
Assam particularly is known for its world famous Tea and Muga Silk. The mighty Brahmaputra flows through the city while the smallest inhabited river island, Umananda can be seen from the city itself. A large number of visitors to Guwahati come only to see the Kamakhya Temple one of the most important Shakti Peeth of the country.
The organizing committee welcomes you to enjoy the hospitality of the northeast, participate in the scientific feast and make the conference a huge success.
