We invite you to participate at the Fourth Congress of Cardiology and Cardio-vascular surgery “CardioVilla 2011”, from October 13th to 15th which is considered one of the most important events in Cuban cardiology and cardiovascular surgery in recent years. The event is organized by “Ernesto Che Guevara” Cardiocentro Hospital in Villa Clara, to welcome its 25th anniversary. Please see more information at:

In order to maintain a good quality in the congress recreational activities, the organizing committee is seeking sponsors to assume the cost of some of the basic offers, which would ensure adequate attention to national and foreign delegates. In general, we ask the sponsors to assess the feasibility of a financial assistance between 1000 and 5000 $.

Villa Clara Cardiocentro Hospital is one of the Cuban hospitals that more cardiovascular surgeries has performed in the last decade. It has managed to maintain a high surgical survival and also has important results in interventional cardiology, electrophysiology and vascular surgery. Significant distinctions have been given to this hospital due to the prestige it has gained.
In addition to the outstanding scientific program, delegates have the opportunity to enjoy the culture and sights of Cuba during an optional post-conference tour.
Finally we encourage you to use the great scenery that CardioVilla 2011 means in the dissemination and presentation of its activities.
We look forward to seeing you in Santa Clara in 2011 for this influential event.
