## Dear colleagues, The Working Group on Invasive and Interventional Cardiology of the Croatian Cardiac Society is organizing the 7th National Congress of interventional cardiology with international participation – CROINTERVENT 2016, which will be held on March 10-12, 2016 in Zagreb. CROINTERVENT started in 2004. From that point it has grown steadily, not only in size but also in its importance among cardiovascular conferences. All the previous six meetings attracted a prominent International and Domestic Faculty and an interactive audience. CROINTERVENT 2016 is designed not only for cardiologists and cardiology fellows, but also for physicians of other specialties and people who are professionally associated with this dynamic and propulsive segment of modern medicine. The aim of the Congress, besides the display of modern clinical practice in interventional cardiology, is to discuss concerns and problems that we encounter in our daily practice, especially those still without consensus among the interventional cardiologists. The congress program will consist of invited lectures and oral and moderated poster presentations. It is important to note that a significant part of the congress will be dedicated to the practical aspects of interventional cardiology, both through transmitted “live cases” and presentation of already performed interventions with analysis and comments. This special issue of Cardiologia Croatica – the official journal of the Croatian Cardiac Society, consists of selected original contributions from our participants in the form of abstracts, which will be presented at the meeting in the form of oral presentations and moderated posters. Sincerely yours,
