Dear Trade Partner,
Asia Primary Angioplasty Congress is the first interventional meeting in Asia focused on the treatment of STEMI with primary angioplasty. This is a rapidly growing field due to increasing burden of heart disease in Asia. Primary angioplasty is considered as the gold standard in treating heart attack but its utilisation is far from ideal across Asia. We aim to facilitate the uptake of this treatment in Asia by providing an interactive and networking platform for interventional cardiologists to share their local experience and learn from one another.
The inaugural meeting will be held on the 2nd & 3rd August, 2014 at Marina Mandarin Hotel, Singapore. We will cover contemporary practices in primary PCI focusing on novel medical and device therapies. Equally important, there will be ample opportunities for speakers, delegates and industry partners to exchange ideas and be inspired by new perspectives in this field.
We have put together a trade prospectus that offers several options to showcase your latest products and services in this exciting event.
Looking forward to your active participation and support!
Yours faithfully
Paul Ong
Chairman of Organizing Committee
Ho Hee Hwa
Co-Chairman of Organizing Committee
