5th International Conference on Heart and Cardiovascular Diseases

The third edition of Heart Congress returned to Dubai—but arrived as a measurably more ambitious event. Six named clinical tracks, dedicated workshop sessions, a faculty representing over 20 countries, and a companion webinar running simultaneously on the same dates reflected the conference's continued growth as a global platform for cardiovascular research and innovation.

Held on May 05–06, 2025, in Dubai, UAE, the 3rd International Conference on Heart and Cardiovascular Diseases was organized by Scientex Conferences under the theme, "Novel Progression Towards the Heart and Cardiovascular Research." Conducted in a hybrid format, the conference brought together cardiologists, researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals from around the world to exchange scientific knowledge, present groundbreaking research, and foster international collaborations.

Programme Highlights

Six Clinical Tracks Covering:

• Cardiovascular diseases, clinical cardiology, and cardiac emergency care
• Echocardiography, advanced cardiovascular imaging, and COVID-19 cardiac impact
• Vascular surgery, regenerative and translational cardiology, endovascular interventions
• Cardiovascular pharmacology, cardiomyopathy, genetic cardiac disorders, and electrophysiology
• Heart failure, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and atherosclerosis
• Interventional cardiology, aneurysm, and current research in cardiology

Keynote Speakers:

• Tatsuya Nakao (Japan) — 9.5-year follow-up data on Frozen Elephant Trunk aortic arch repair
• Gustavo Samaja (Argentina) — balloon aortic valvuloplasty in the TAVI era
• Ruhul Abid (USA, Brown University) — myocardial function and perfusion in ischaemic heart disease
• Noureddin Sawan (Qatar) — modern treatment strategies for atrial fibrillation
• Claudio L Pereira da Cunha (Brazil) — physical activity and arterial hypertension in workers

Workshop Sessions:

• Fontan failure and heart transplantation
• Heart transplantation following prolonged ECMO
• Both led by Massimo Griselli, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Hospital, KSA

Notable Research Presented:

• AI-assisted echocardiography — EchoCLIP multimodal model
• Successful LV aneurysm surgery at 16% ejection fraction
• Community resuscitation initiative — Restart a Heart, Sri Lanka
• Psoriasis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease — systematic review and meta-analysis

A special note of gratitude goes to our outstanding moderators, Adriana-Simoneta Pimienta-Ibarra, National Institute of Respiratory Diseases, Mexico whose expertise and commitment played a vital role in the seamless execution and success of the sessions. Additionally, all participants were awarded CPD Accreditation Certificates, recognizing their dedication to continued professional development and lifelong learning in the field of cardiology.

Speaker Note

"It's a very friendly meeting. You have a big learning opportunity with time for sharing your experience and discussion. I strongly recommend attending this kind of event instead of the big congresses where we don't have time for anything — not even to ask a question."

— Gustavo Samaja, Policlinica Bancaria / Sanatorio Colegiales, Buenos Aires, Argentina
