DU PRÉSIDENT DE L’ASSEMBLÉE ANNUELLE
Chers délégués,
Au nom de la Société canadienne de cardiologie,
j’aimerais vous inviter au Congrès canadien sur la santé
cardiovasculaire (CCSC) 2015, qui se déroulera au Palais
des congrès du Toronto métropolitain, à Toronto, du 24
au 27 octobre. En 2000, 10 organismes s’étaient réunis
afin de mettre l’accent sur les soins cardiovasculaires
dans nos collectivités à l’occasion d’un grand rendez-vous
pancanadien. Depuis, le CCSC a continué à tirer profit de ses
réussites et est demeuré l’événement phare de l’année pour
les professionnels de la santé canadiens et les organismes
œuvrant en médecine cardiovasculaire. Le CCSC 2015, 16e
congrès à ce jour, réunira pas moins de 20 organisations et
sociétés associées du domaine de la santé cardiovasculaire.
J’espère que le thème du CCSC 2015, Innovation et
collaboration : cheminement au cœur, vous incitera à
participer, en compagnie de 3 500 autres délégués, aux

Visiting Toronto
Toronto is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world; a place where
international ideas intersect with Canadian culture. A center of rare openness,
warmth, energy and style, Toronto is enriched by the fusion of traditions,
passions and perspectives on life of the more than 100 cultures found here.
A city of contrasts, Toronto’s skyline includes the CN Tower, one of the Modern
Wonders of the World and glass skyscrapers juxtaposed with historic limestone
facades. Miles of waterfront, boardwalks, parks and trails nestle together with
urban delights like cafés, artisans’ exhibits and one-of-a-kind shops.
Visiter Toronto
Toronto est l’une des villes les plus cosmopolites du monde, un endroit où les idées
internationales rencontrent la culture canadienne. Centre débordant d’une rare
ouverture, de chaleur, d’énergie et de style, Toronto bénéficie de la fusion entre
les traditions, les passions et les perspectives de vie que lui procurent ses plus de
100 communautés culturelles.
Cette ville de contrastes révèle un horizon qui se distingue par sa Tour CN, l’une
des merveilles du monde moderne, et par ses gratte-ciel en verre tout à côté de la
façade en calcaire de ses édifices historiques. Elle est sillonnée par des kilomètres de
rives, de promenades en bois, de parcs et de sentiers, et elle est dotée de charmes
urbains comme des cafés, des ateliers d’artisans et des boutiques uniques.
Canadian Society of Cardiology Technologists

This debate session will use a unique courtroom trial format, with a judge, prosecution and
defense, and a jury of peers. This promises to be a very entertaining and educational event at
CCC.
The Debate: TAVI will replace open AVR as the main intervention for severe aortic valve disease by 2020.
Two main questions/accusations will be addressed regarding TAVI:
1. TAVI is accused of currently being performed in patients who are unlikely to benefit from the procedure.
2. TAVI is accused of becoming the preferred intervention for the majority of patients with severe AV disease
(over open AVR) by 2020.
