In reflecting on our latest issue, this month published at the time of the annual European Society of Cardiology annual meeting, we cannot help but appreciate the immense effort that goes into creating – not only our journal, EuroIntervention and the ESC meeting itself – but the collaborative effort in the day-to-day practice of our profession, drawing, as it does, not only from our own speciality, but from other fields and specialities as well.
