euroPCR 2012.
The most relevant news daily report fromthe EuroPCR congress, held in Paris from the15th to 18th May 2012.
To close a brilliant event, EuroPCR authorities invited the presidents of the European and American societies represented in Paris to a gala tribute dinner at La Maison de l' Amérique Latine, a magnificent mansion built with the support of Latin American ambassadors in the mid-20th century. The former presidents of the American College of Cardiology, Dr. Spencer King and Dr. David Holmes, also made the honors. Dr. Oscar Mendiz was there representing SOLACI, for Latin America.
