Egyptian Cerebro-Cardio-Vascular Association

The Heart-Brain connection and interaction is a relatively unexplored science. Egyptian Cerebro-Cardio-Vascular Association is the merge between two different but interactive specialities, Cardiology and Neurology. The purpose of the Society is to bring this important relationship to the forefront in order to stimulate more of this important but neglected arena.

In many instances both cardiologists and neurologists should work together to provide high quality up-to-date care for patients with combined cerebral and cardiac disorders. Many neurological conditions have an impact on cardiovascular system including Parkinson disease, epilepsy, depression, anxiety and stress and many cardiovascular conditions have an impact on neurological system including atrial fibrillation and patent foramen ovale.

We believe that more attention and understanding of the heart-brain link will underpin better care for patients. Health care professionals will learn of recent discoveries and insight that relate to new treatments for cardiovascular and nervous system disorders.

Strategic objectives of the society
