Our objectives

The members of the society are cardiologists or other professionals involved with heart disease.

The CME program includes a seminar at the Heart House once a month.

The working groups are supervised directly by the Vice-President although they have "autonomy" in programming their annual meeting.

Their committee members are elected among the SEC members every 2 years.

The Spanish Heart Foundation (Fundación Española del Corazón) helps to prevent cardiovascular diseases through educational programmes, fundraising to stimulate cardiovascular investigation and to promote the rehabilitation of cardiovascular patients.
