You can find the educational material distributed to the participants during the 1st International Course on INTEGRATED BIOMARKERS Biochemical and Bioimaging Endpoints in Cardiocerebrovascular Diagnosis, Prevention, Therapy and Drug Development that has been held in Lugano (Switzerland) on October 27-29, 2005.

The educational material includes abstracts, slides, suggested references and CVs of the Faculty.

In addition, we have reported the definition of the acronyms and of more specialized terms in the GLOSSARY.

You can select the presentation from the pull-down menu, and view the slide presentations and corresponding abstracts. The search tool by key words (i.e.: ACS, heart failure, stroke, biomarkers, cost effectiveness, SPECT, MRI, Cardiac Troponin, BNP, etc …) allows you to find not only additional slides on a similar topic (so you can assemble your own customized presentation), but also the authors' abstracts and references. Abstracts and customized presentations can be downloaded on your computer.
