Rationale

C ardiovascular diseases still represent the leading cause of death inindustrialized countries. Beside the development of novel and more

selective pharmacological strategies in counteracting cardiovascular diseases,morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disorders still remain nearlyunchanged. Moreover, the increased cost for supporting an enhancedconsumption of drugs for preventing and combating cardiovascular diseases,represents a novel socio-economic problem of sustainability for institutionalstakeholders.This Meeting aims to re-assess the most recent advances in cardiovascularpharmacology, with a special focus on clinical trials and “real world evidence”approach alongside with pharmaco-economic studies oriented to bettersustainability of cardiovascular pharmacotherapy.
