摘要

The 13th Annual Meeting of the European Council for Cardiovascular Research (ECCR) gathered leading European groups in basic and clinical cardiovascular research in Nice, France, 10-12 October 2008. With 160 participants and approximately the same amount of oral and poster presentations, it was a small but very comprehensive meeting covering the most important and timely issues in research on cardiovascular diseases and their treatment. Highlights of this year's meeting were joint sessions with the European Society for Microcirculation about Vascular Disease and the European Society for Cardiology about the cardiorenal syndrome, along with the Danish Cardiovascular Research Academy (DACRA) about exercise hyperemia. The content of these sessions, as well as other important contributions to the conference, are summarized in this article.
