Abstract
The cardiovascular community in Lebanon, comprising cardiologists mostly in the Lebanese Society of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery (LSC) [1], has historically been very active in organizing continuing education programs and conferences (I will refer to all these activities collectively as conferences) concerning different aspects of the practice of cardiology and cardiovascular health in general. It is of interest to reflect qualitatively on the contents of these conferences. This can provide insights into several important issues: the scope of cardiovascular issues addressed by cardiologists; the interest of the larger medical community in cardiovascular diseases (CVD); emphasis on prevention vs. control of CVD; and the coverage of the media and, indirectly, public exposure. Reflection on these conferences is carried out from a position of emphasis on cardiovascular health promotion and CVD prevention. Therefore, these conferences are evaluated based on whether they ultimately serve these goals.
