PCR Focus Groups
Learn how multidisciplinary teams are working together on specific topics to advance worldwide practice in cardiovascular care
First initiated in 2021, PCR Focus Groups address topics for which the global community is still challenged by doubts and different opinions. Each group gathers a multidisciplinary team of experts working to align practice, resolve controversies, and deliver clear evidence-based guidance – in order to improve access, quality and innovation in cardiovascular care. Dedicated educational webinars, scientific sessions and referral meetings are examples of how key messages are subsequently spread to promote their worldwide implementation in daily practice.
