Chung-Ang Univ. Hospital hosts forum on heart disease

Chung-Ang University Hospital will hold an international symposium in collaboration with the U.S.-based Mayo Clinic on Feb. 1-2 in Seoul to share information on the latest technology in cardiovascular care.

Leading cardiologists and cardiac surgeons from Korea and overseas will give lectures on treating patients with different types of heart disease, the hospital said.

Doctors will discuss eight topics, including “clinical debates on the timing of surgery,” “catheter-based therapy” and “cases of heart transplant.”

The two-day event will be held at JW Marriott Hotel in Seoul on the first day and Chung-Ang University Hospital on the second. For more information and registration, visit chorusonline.org or call (02) 6299-1395.
