The National Research League of Cardiac Genetics, in collaboration with HSE University and the Federal State Central State Medical Academy of the Administrative Department of the President, is holding the Second Genetics and the Heart Congress with international participation on February 7–8, 2026.
Venue: HSE Cultural Centre (11 Pokrovsky Bulvar, Building 6, Moscow)
The participants include Russian and international experts in the field of genetically determined cardiovascular diseases. As part of the event, leading world experts in hereditary cardiovascular diseases will discuss the latest guidelines for patient management for a broad audience.
The programme will feature clinical case presentations, interactive discussions, and an examination of the role of modern genetic methods and the capabilities of imaging techniques in the management of patients with hereditary cardiac diseases.
The congress will include scientific sessions and poster presentations. A Young Scientists competition is planned.
