Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the Invasive Cardiology Symposium in Slavonski Brod.
We are delighted to commemorate twenty years of exceptional medical care and innovative techniques at our invasive cardiology laboratory. These two decades represent a consistent commitment and dedication to our patients’ well-being, along with a steadfast dedication to enhancing the treatment of heart diseases in our region and neighboring counties.
Over these twenty years, we have introduced novel invasive methods for diagnosing and treating heart conditions, as showcased in this edition of the Cardiologia Croatica journal. The symposium program encompasses lectures spanning interventional cardiology, arrhythmology, angiology, heart failure, interdisciplinary approaches, prevention, and basic medical sciences.
Beyond technical and medical advancements, we extend our gratitude to all the individuals who played pivotal roles in establishing and advancing our invasive cardiology laboratory. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment form the bedrock of our success. Therefore, we wish to express our profound appreciation to our founders who envisioned this laboratory as a center of excellence in the region, our fellow doctors who supported and guided us along the way, our partners and donors who facilitated the acquisition of cutting-edge equipment and technology, our patients who entrusted us with their health, and our entire team and staff whose expertise, patience, and selfless commitment are integral to our achievements.
Today, we take pride in celebrating two decades of continuous progress and dedication to the health of our patients.
Thank you all for your contributions and support!
Yours sincerely,
Katica Cvitkušić Lukenda
Symposium Director
