## Dear Colleagues, It is our honor and pleasure to welcome you to the 10th Congress of the Croatian Association of Cardiology Nurses, which is to be held from November 9 to November 12, 2023, in the Park Hotel in the town of Makarska. The program of the 10th Congress is aimed at nurses/technicians and related professionals. As in our previous congresses, we tried to cover all current topics in cardiology with the aim of presenting the achievements as well as the problems of current nursing cardiology practice. Since this is our jubilee congress, special attention will be given to our patients. The symposium “Human-centered care” includes presentations by patients and certified experts from domestic and European practice. The lectures held by patients will provide us with an opportunity to hear what it is like to be a patient. The lectures held by experts are a call to the inherent focus on the human individual on part of all health professionals. We will also have the opportunity to present our achievements, exchange experiences, and discuss important issues through oral presentations, poster presentations, and presentations of interesting cases from the daily clinical practice of the participants. We would like to thank Prof Mario Ivanuša for all the help in the preparation and publication of abstracts in a supplement of the journal Cardiologia Croatica. We believe that the professional content we have prepared will contribute to building your professional excellence and that your active participation in constructive discussions will contribute to the overall success of our congress.
