CIT2017 is organized by the Chinese Medical Association, and co-sponsored by National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases of China, CIT Board of Directors, Chinese Society of Cardiology, and Cardiovascular Research Foundation, and supported by 34 international and national societies and well-known heart centers.

Under the core concept and direction, CIT 2017 will o er 1200+ didactic presentations, 600+ abstracts, and 40 live cases in its three-and-half-day program. The grand opening and plenary session will take place on Friday, March 31, 2017. Original researches are presented in the forms of oral and poster abstracts, late-breaking clinical trials, topic-oriented symposia, workshops, and concurrent sessions. Basic research, practical interventional techniques, interventional pharmacology, cardiovascular prevention, and cardiovascular imaging are also covered in-depth. CIT will make an e ort to minimize gaps between evidence and practice, and to facilitate and accelerate the incorporation into clinical practice of new therapies with proven safety and e cacy in appropriately conducted clinical trials. The transition theme of CIT also highlights the current and future expansion of interventional cardiovascular practice from treatment of obstructive vascular disease to other common cardiovascular problems including structural heart disease (e.g. aortic stenosis), atrial brillation and hypertension.
- As the largest interventional cardiology meeting in Asia-Paci c region, it is expected that more than 8,000 experts, cardiologists, radiologists, vascular medicine specialists, industrial partners and other health care professionals with a special interest in the eld of interventional cardiology will attend the meeting. Participants will have the opportunities to share scienti c information and the latest advances, to exchange expertise in interventional cardiology, to renew our friendship, and to increase worldwide collaboration. CIT2017 will also provide a unique opportunity for the industries to exhibit their new products and to contact with the cardiologists more closely.
