| Abstract
|
:
|
In the last years the Spanish Society of Cardiology has shown a great interest in the continuous medical education in cardiology. We would like to thank the Spanish Society of Cardiology and the Catalan Cardiac Society for the generous assistance they have given us during all stages of book preparation.
