Pacific Northwest Cardiovascular Summit

Join us at the next annual Pacific Northwest Cardiovascular Summit to learn from internationally renowned faculty who address the state of the art in clinical cardiology. Lectures and discussions address topics including heart failure, electrophysiology, prevention, imaging, structural heart disease and peripheral vascular disease.
A conference in a setting like no other
If you are up for exploring, the city has much to offer. Zip over to Washington Park for the International Rose Test Garden, Portland Japanese Gardens, Oregon Zoo and spectacular views of Mount Hood. Sample craft beer — Portland has 70+ craft breweries. Drive 40 minutes to Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country, populated with 500 wineries. Breathe the fresh Pacific Northwest air and relax, surrounded by lush forest, rivers and mountains.
