Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues,

We look forward to welcoming you to “The 15th Annual Case-Based Approach to Controversies in Cardiovascular Diseases” on 7 & 8 February 2026 at Dubai – United Arab Emirates.

Cardiovascular medicine continues to rapidly evolve as research studies and clinical trials continually expand the evidence base related to treatment strategies for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Rapid advancement of new devices, new technologies, and new medical options has resulted in many changes and updates regarding the management of CVD. The volume and complexity of data generated, combined with expanding technologies, can make it difficult for busy clinicians to remain up to date regarding diagnosis and treatment.

To fill this educational need, this conference—co-sponsored by Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic—will provide an in-depth review and analysis of current state-of-the-art practices in cardiovascular medicine. All sessions will be presented in a “real world” case-based format, which encourages participation and debate between the faculty and attendees.

This program is targeted to all healthcare professionals involved in managing patients with cardiovascular diseases, including cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, residents, fellows, and nurses.

Alongside the scientific sessions, there will be an exhibit providing attendees with exposure to the most cutting-edge technologies, resources, and treatment solutions in the field of cardiovascular medicine.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dubai in February 2026.
