Novi dvobroj časopisa Cardiologia Croatica donosi proširene sažetke skupa CroEcho2013 koji se održava od 23. do 25. svibnja 2013. godine u Dubrovniku. Slijede najave skupova u organizaciji Hrvatskoga kardiološkog društva i Europskog kardiološkog društva te najava Svjetskog dana srca 2013. godine. Broj završava sponzoriranim člankom čija je tema liječenje arterijske hipertenzije fiksim kombinacijom perindoprila s amlodipinom.

Pozivamo članove HKD da ažuriraju svoje podatke za pretplatu na časopis – molimo poslati aktualnu poštansku adresu na adresu elektroničke pošte kardio@kardio.hr na koju zaprimamo i buduće članke.
