What is Kenya Cardiac Society?

The Kenya Cardiac Society (KCS) is the preferred meeting place for physicians and other healthprofessionals with a keen interest in cardiovascular care.

Our vision is to be the champions for the advancement of cardiovascular health in Kenya and the region.We seek to facilitate discovery and dissemination of best practices.

Our mission is to promote and maintain the highest standards of cardiovascular care through theprevention of cardiovascular disease and the education of the public and professionals. We seek toencourage, support and coordinate research and collaboration with key stakeholders.

The Kenya Cardiac Society (KCS) Annual Scientific Conference is the flagship program of our Society. Ithas become the premier Scientific Congress in our East African region. As the President and theChairman of the Scientific Committee, it gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the KCS 35th

Annual Scientific Conference.

While significant strides have been made to improve the services in cardiovascular care in this country,cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death among the Non-CommunicableDiseases. It is for this reason that this conference theme is “Impact through Collaboration “since KCShope to work together with all the stakeholders in NCDs to foster a united effort to transformcardiovascular care and improve heart health in this country.

This year we also have an outstanding international faculty which in addition to speakers of globalrepute, has among them the Presidents of the American College of Cardiology (ACC).

For the first time we are also introducing The Young Investigator Award to be selected from the abstractpresentations. This is meant to encourage cardiac research in Kenya among our young scientists.

My Scientific Committee has worked tirelessly and spared no effort to make this conferencecomprehensive, and of international standards and I hope you will have a fruitful and a memorableexperience in this meeting.

In order to stimulate discussions and let audience interact with the speakers, this year we will try and keep the talks a bit shorter but more interactive with longer Q&As.

Speakers have 15 - 20 minutes for presentations – See your invitation letter. As a general rule of thumb, do not include more than 20 content slides for a 20 min presentation and 15 content slides for a 15 min. presentation. In short, keep time to allow for stimulating Q&A sessions.

Prepare your presentation in PowerPoint and make sure the visuals are clear and legible – even from the backrow. If you are using Mac, consider bringing your own back-up dongle.

You will use the slide template enclosed and will declare any disclosures as your second slide (attached).

We urge you to stick closely to the topic given, to preserve the overall cohesion of the programme.

You will arrive in the session room no later than 15 minutes before the start of your session to allow the session chair to introduce appropriately.

Presentations will be sent to the organizers on kcardiacs@gmail.com no later than the 27th June, the day before the congress to ensure smooth transition between speakers.

Chairs will merely give a very brief introduction of the speakers, ensure timely execution and facilitate and the Q&A session.

All questions and discussion should be be deferred to the Q&A at the end of the session.
