It is a great pleasure and honor to cordially welcome you to the first Belgrade Valve International Symposium (BELVIS) which will be held on June 12 - June 13,
2021, at the Hilton Hotel. The meeting is being jointly organized by cardiologists and cardiac surgeons of Serbia, under the auspices of the Cardiology Society of Serbia, the
Serbian Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, the Medical Faculty of the University of Belgrade, Society for Cardiovascular pathology of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Art and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia.
The idea of the meeting is to join cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in discussions related to valvular heart diseases, its risk stratification, imaging and treatment. The meeting is
intended to be practical, interactive and to offer interesting scientific and educational content to cardiovascular subspecialists, but also to general physicians, fellows and all
others who are interested in this topic. Belvis 2021 will be held with live transmissions from conference room with only lecturers and panelists present in the room. We do hope that BELVIS 2021 will meet your expectations and trust that you will enjoy visiting our beautiful and vivid city.
