Welcome Remarks

Global mortality is heavily impacted by cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Scientific advancements have ushered in remarkable pharmacological and device innovations, significantly enhancing survival rates and potential cures for both conditions. However, oncological and hematological therapies, while altering disease progression, often bring about frequent cardiac toxicities. Chemotherapy, radiation, targeted, and immunotherapy have documented percentages of cardiotoxicities.

Simultaneously, cardiology has seen a leap in diagnostic methods, enabling early detection of toxicities and subclinical conditions. The emerging subspecialty of cardio-oncology aims to prevent today's cancer patients from becoming tomorrow's cardiac patients and aims to ensure existing cardiac conditions don’t hinder life-extending cancer therapy.

The first MEHA Cardio Oncology congress seeks to introduce this crucial concept to the UAE and GCC countries. It aims to heighten awareness and education among cardiologists, oncologists, and hematologists for early cardiovascular risk stratification, prevention and detection of cardiotoxicities, and prompt referral and management, ultimately elevating patient care standards.

We look forward to welcoming you in April 2024.
