Figure 1 Scientific communication: From conferences/clinical to clinical/conferences (Co2Cl & Cl2Co). Since current international scientific conferences or congresses in the field of cardiovascular medicine focus on prevention, health promotion, education and training as well as treatment or management and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the new concepts of Co2Cl & Cl2Co are beneficial to and helpful in improvement of human cardiovascular health and quality of life due to conducting the outcomes of both basic studies and clinical trials in CVD as well as a number of scientific breakthroughs and a series of discoveries in cardiovascular medicine in the new era. Here, ACC: the American College of Cardiology; AHA: the American Heart Association; ESC: the European Society of Cardiology; CHC: the China Heart Congress; CSC: the Chinese Society of Cardiology; GW-ICC: the Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology; OCC: the Oriental Congress of Cardiology; SCC: Southern Congress of Cardiology.
