WELCOME NOTE

Dear colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the second International Symposium on Neurocardiology, Neurocard 2010, organized by Serbian Neurocardiological Society, to be held in Belgrade in September 30>h - October 2nd, 2010.
The first NEUROCARD 2009 organized last year was unique and from some point maybe historical meeting bringing together several scientific societies and organized under the auspices of several international organizations. We hope that NEUROCARD will become a good platform for international scientific cooperation as well as good opportunity to develop friendship in the nice environment and pleasant atmosphere.

           
The progression of heart disease is associated with changes in the neurohumoral mechanisms that control cardiac function. Neurocardiology deals with the degree to which this neurohumoral remodeling occurs, even before overt signs of cardiac disease become manifest. With our cumulative understanding of these interdependent processes, new avenues for time-appropriate, targeted methods of treating heart diseases can be developed.
The Symposium will bring together medical researchers and specialists focused on the autonomic cardiovascular regulation in different fields such as cardiology, neurology, physiology, molecular biology, pharamacology, nephrology, endocrinology, psychology and ingeneering.

The purpose of the meeting is to endorse research in neurocardiology and related fields, to improve prognosis and the outcome of cardiovascular disease and facilitate the dissemination of the state-of-the art.

Outstanding experts, members of the Scientific Advisory Board will assure scientific excellence.

           
On behalf of the Organizing Committee,
Looking forward to welcoming you,

Branislav Milovanovic,
Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Cardiology
Chairman of the Symposium
President of Serbian Neurocardiological Society
