With a great pleasure, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, we invite you to participate to the 4th International Meeting of the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center. The Meeting will be held on November 30 - December 2, 2006, in Athens, Greece at the Athenaeum Inter-Continental Hotel. We are looking forward to getting together in an International Scientific environment and discussing the major issues currently affecting our practice and our Specialties.

Internationally recognized leaders of our Specialties will join us in the Meeting in an exciting Program that focuses on current advances and controversies. You are invited to submit your research data for oral or poster presentation. Young Investigators can compete for the Best Oral and Best Poster Presentation Awards sponsored by the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation.

The City of Athens, with a rich historical and cultural heritage, offers the visitor a variety of opportunities to explore. An attractive social program has been planned including guided tours to the Acropolis and other important landmarks, visits to contemporary places and of course, shopping in Athens before Christmas.

Looking forward to seeing you in Athens, later this year,

Dennis V. Cokkinos, M.D.
Chairman, Cardiology Sector
Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center
Chairman, Local Scientific Committee
