The Saudi Heart Association's annual conference is the main national meeting for cardiovascular medicine in Saudi Arabia. The 37th edition, themed "Global Heart: From Riyadh to the World", brings cardiologists and the wider cardiac care team together in Riyadh for three days of science, guidelines and hands-on training, with international societies such as the ESC, ACC and AHA among its collaborators.
