Book of Abstracts - New Frontiers 2022

Welcome address

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The 14 th meeting “ New Frontiers in Basic Cardiovascular Research: France – New EU

Members” will be held in Bratislava, Slovakia, on May 25 -27, 2022.

The conference follows a long-lasting tradition of these meetings that started in Prague

in 1994 as the initiative of prof. B. Ošťádal (Czech Republic) and prof. R. Fishmeister

(France). The meetings were initially focused on the collaboration between researchers

from France, Czech Republic and Slovakia, but since 2006, the conference embraced all

countries of V4 region and New EU countries. So far, the conference has been organized

in all V4 countries and in France.

Unfortunately, the 2-year period tradition of these meetings has been interrupted by

COVID-19 pandemic. We are thus very happy that the actual COVID-19 situation enables organization of the postponed 14 th meeting on site, and we are pleased to

announce a “face to face” meeting that will take place in the conference hotel Saffron in

Bratislava, Slovakia.

To continue the tradition of the “Frontiers” meetings, the meeting will feature basic

scientific and clinical sessions in the field of cardiovascular research including lectures

of invited keynote speakers and free oral communications selected from the submitted

abstracts. We will provide various opportunities for young investigators to discuss their

latest findings with the established investigators and to compete in both oral and poster

sessions. In addition to an attractive scientific program we also promise to prepare an

enjoyable social program.

We hope that despite the tight scientific schedule, there will be enough space for fruitful

and stimulating discussions and chances to enjoy the city of Bratislava.

On behalf of the Organizing committee
