Abstract
Society and community: the role of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology
Highlights
The earliest available working document of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology, prepared in 1951 [1], declared that the objectives of our Society, which was founded in 1934, were ‘the promotion of the knowledge of cardiovascular diseases and the support of measures in the fight against these diseases, and secondly promotion of the professional interests of the members’
The cardiology community would undoubtedly profit if members nationwide were to participate in this type of clinical study
The national Followpace study with 23 participating Dutch centres resulting in many insights towards modern long-term conventional cardiac pacing constitutes a nice example of a large and long clinical study based on cooperation and low costs [7]
Summary
The earliest available working document of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology, prepared in 1951 [1], declared that the objectives of our Society, which was founded in 1934, were ‘the promotion of the knowledge of cardiovascular diseases and the support of measures in the fight against these diseases, and secondly promotion of the professional interests of the members’. In the area of development of cardiology and vascular medicine, our Society has reduced its steering role in creating facilities for cardiovascular presentations of Dutch origin at the bi-annual national congresses; these are clustered between professional business and quality of care discussions.
