The care of patients with both cardiovascular disease and cancer requires specific individual skills and highlights the importance of teamwork and interdisciplinary collaboration.
The scientific programme will address these challenges and aims to bring you the latest advances across all core specialties, guidelines and clinical practice together with education, training and networking opportunities.
It will be completed by presentations of original research with abstracts, clinical cases, and sessions from our industry partners.
Please note, programme times are displayed in local time in Florence.
A 360° view of the cardio-oncology landscape
The Scientific Programme offer a 360° view of the cardio-oncology landscape, covering everything from cutting-edge research to real-world clinical cases and how-to sessions, and the latest advances in the field.
With tailored tracks for both general cardiologists and advanced specialists, the conference ensures that each of us gain actionable insights directly applicable to their clinical practice.
Whatever your interest, experts will answer your questions
- Do you know how GLS (Global Longitudinal Strain) is used in cardio-oncology? Learn why it's becoming a key tool in detecting early cardiotoxicity.
- Interested in using AI to transform cardio-oncology care? Discover how digital tools and artificial intelligence are shaping the future of cardiovascular health in cancer patients.
- Want to learn why early detection of cardiotoxicity could be a game-changer for cancer therapy?
- Are you aware of the potential role of SGLT2 inhibitors in preventing cardiovascular toxicity during cancer treatment?
- Do you know how to optimise care for HER2+ breast cancer patients with heart failure?
- Are you interested in learning how to manage immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced myocarditis?
- Do you know how GLP1 agonists might impact cardio-oncology care?
- How can remote preconditioning improve mitochondria function? Discover its role in preventing cardiotoxicity.
- Are DOACs the future of primary VTE prevention in cancer patients?
These are only some of the questions that will be answered during the the conference.
Be part of the discussion and make your voice heard!
A special session, the 'Virtual guidelines taskforce' will present clinical challenges and the latest evidence on controversial and emerging topics in cardio-oncology.
You will be engage by leading experts in an interactive voting process to simulate new guidelines insights and recommendations.
Another session of interest for all your questions is the 'The floor is yours: bring your questions on long-term cardiovascular disease management in cancer survivors' that will explore how a collaborative approach involving multiple specialties can enhance the surveillance and management of cardiovascular risks in cancer patients, using real-world cases from Hodgkin lymphoma, breast cancer, and renal cancer treatments.
All other sessions will allow time for you to ask your questions.
Interdisciplinary connections
ESC Cardio-Oncology 2025 will provide extensive networking opportunities for specialists in cardiology, oncology, haematology, radiotherapy, and related fields, fostering new partnerships and collaborations that will drive progress in the discipline.
Joint sessions will allow additional knowledge exchange, fostering collaboration, and enhancing professional growth.
- Latest advances in radiation therapy - Joint session with the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO)
- Clinical Case Management: evolving paradigms in cardio-oncology - Joint session with the JACC Cardio Oncology
- How to deliver a successful cardio-oncology service - Joint session with the International Cardio Oncology Society (ICOS)
Abstract & Clinical Case presentations
Innovative research and clinical case presentations will be highlighted during the event.
Presenters will discuss their findings with peers and international experts in dedicated fields of expertise. They will engage with fellow researchers, key opinion leaders, potential co-investigators, and mentors, and will give their work longterm visibility.
Best abstracts from the young will compete in the Young Investigator Awards session. Join the Jury members to hear their presentations and congratulate them all!
Young Community
In Florence, you won’t just find top scientific sessions —you’ll also have the chance to connect directly and personally with leading experts.
We’ve prepared a dedicated mentoring session just for you, where you can learn first-hand about opportunities for teamwork, basic, clinical, and translational research, publications, and career development in this exciting new field that bridges cancer and the heart — the two most prevalent diseases in our society.
Tailored Tracks
The conference ensures that all us - regardless of our experience - will gain actionable insights directly applicable to our clinical practice.
Are you a General Cardiologist?
Gain first-hand knowledge on how to identify patients at risk of developing cardiotoxicity and understand the challenges your cancer patients face when receiving new oncology treatments. Discover best practices for integrating cardio-oncology into your clinical practice to provide holistic care for patients with cancer and cancer survivors at high cardiovascular risks.
Are you a Haematology or Oncology specialist?
Collaborate with cardiovascular experts to ensure safe and effective cancer treatments while minimising cardiovascular complications and improving outcomes.
All Cardiovascular Specialties
Whatever your specialty in cardiology, the conference will provide valuable knowledge and learning opportunities.
Heart Failure
Learn how to identify, prevent, and manage cancer therapy-related cardiomyopathy while optimising care for patients with coexisting conditions. Stay updated on the latest cancer drugs that may lead to heart failure, and explore innovative multidisciplinary strategies to treat cardiac amyloidosis.
Interventional Cardiology
Explore strategies for managing thrombotic and ischaemic complications in cancer patients and gain insights into the use of interventional techniques in cardio-oncology.
Cardiac Imaging
Discover how cutting-edge imaging technologies and AI tools enhance early detection of cardiotoxicity and guide personalised cancer therapy management. Discuss best practices on how to integrate cardiac imaging in cardio-oncology with top experts.
Arrhythmias
Learn about managing atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias in cancer patients, with a focus on balancing anticoagulation and bleeding risks.
Acute Cardiovascular Care
Gain knowledge on addressing acute cardiovascular complications in cancer patients, ensuring timely and effective multidisciplinary interventions.
Specialised Nursing
Develop skills to support cardio-oncology patients through multidisciplinary care, focusing on patient education, monitoring, and management of side effects.
Basic Science
Understand the molecular mechanisms linking cancer and cardiovascular diseases, paving the way for innovative therapies and interventions. Highlight also the YIA on basic and translational science.
Cardiovascular Prevention
