Modern medicine and technologies are helping us live more comfortably and longer, with fewer young lives lost. However, this means more medical care is needed. To ensure continued progress is made, we must effectively manage cardiovascular risks and embrace new technologies and treatments.

This is why, in the 2025 edition, the focus will be on ‘Risk factor realities in 2025’.

During the congress, we will take an honest look at the current state of cardiovascular risk in our society.

Identify major barriers to effective implementation of guideline treatments, and explore innovative solutions for a healthier future.

We will delve into some key areas, such as:

• The barriers in everyday clinical routine and in society
• New technologies and pharmacologic developments we can use
• How risk profiles have changed in the last years
• Main risk factors to look at for
• How screening and risk estimation algorithms can help

All of us at the European Association of Preventive Cardiology are thrilled to begin this journey to the 2025 edition in Milan, and we encourage you to share your latest scientific findings and create networking opportunities.

Together with the EAPC Board, we look forward to an exciting, educational, and successful ESC Preventive Cardiology 2025!

Know your numbers! Get a quick reading of your CV risk.

Step into the CV Health Check area where a simple test will give you your risk for CVD. This test will not only give you a status on your own health, but help you learn more about the value of screening and what you can do to help implement this in your country. #CVHealthForAll.

Body & Mind Challenge

The congress is not only about science, at ESC Preventive Cardiology, there is more to it: The Body & Mind Challenge, a returning game which is now part of the congress.

Challenge your knowledge and skills with a series of interactive games during the ESC Preventive Cardiology Congress 2025 in Milan. Take part, test your reasoning, and see how you compare to your colleagues!

This year, the format has been slightly revisited and will take form in a 75 minute session on day 2 of the congress during the afternoon break: 4 April from 15:00 to 16:15. 

The game still has the two components "physical games" and "a mind game featuring scientific & cultural questions".

The collective step counting is back as well, where we will use a application to addition the steps of your team and this might bring you to the finals. 

Registration will be open on day 1 during the breaks at the EAPC Corner.
