Dear Colleagues,
We have great pleasure in inviting you to attend the forthcoming 20th Annual conference of Academy of Cardiology(AOC)
On January 11( Saturday) and January 12(Sunday), 2020 at Taj Santacruz, Mumbai.
AOC meetings have focused on contemporary topics and the theme of this year’s meeting is
"HEART DISEASES IN WOMEN".
Historically, coronary artery disease (CAD) has been considered to be a men’s disease. There is a misconception
that women are protected against CAD. Data available during the last three decades clearly emphasises that CAD is
the leading cause of mortality all over the world as well as in developing countries. Heart disease kills more
women over 65 years than do all cancers combined. In the child bearing age, women can be affected by pregnancy
induced disorders. Women with pre existing structural heart disease can pose life threatening challenges during
pregnancy. A wealth of new information is available on this subject.
A galaxy of national and international experts will elaborate on these topics in several formats. We look forward to
welcoming you in MUMBAI in the New Year.
