Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the 5th Asia Pacific Congenital & Structural Heart Intervention Symposium 2014 - APCASH 2014 which will be held from October 10 - 12, 2014 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. This year, a 3-day program will be conducted featuring a clinical focus on both paediatric and structural heart diseases, as well as live case demonstrations from the Asia Pacific region.

APCASH is a fast growing meeting dedicated to congenital & structural interventions in the Asia Pacific region. Over the years, the conference has been well known for live case transmissions from renowned hospitals worldwide and experienced operators demonstrating the latest medical device technology. The live cases this year will be transmitted from Beijing, Hanoi, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

Besides live case demonstrations and a wide range of breakout sessions, dedicated Putonghua session and allied health program will be introduced for the first time in this year to ensure the meeting remains fresh and to maximize the learning experience for attendees.

I look forward to seeing you in October.
