HIGHLIGHTS FROM AsiaPCR/SingLIVE 2010AsiaPCR/SingLIVE aims at contributing to the advancement of education and information on existing and new technologies in the fields of cardiovascular interventions in the Asian Pacific region.
Our long-term goal is to build a platform of expression open to the National, International Societies and Health Care professionals of the Asian Pacific region who wish to share their experience, knowledge and expertise whilst respecting the regulations, local constraints, and cultural differences.
The 2010 programme was built by the combined efforts of the Singapore Live and EuroPCR teams, and highlights some of the regional hot topics, along with tried and tested elements from EuroPCR.
