The 37th Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology (GW-ICC) and Asian Heart Society Congress 2026

Get ready for the 37^th Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology (GW-ICC) and Asian Heart Society Congress 2026, which will hold from October 15^th to 18^th, 2026 in Beijing, China. Welcome to join cardiologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the globe for what promises to be an exceptional meeting of minds.

The Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology (GW-ICC) was founded by renowned Chinese cardiologist Professor Hu Dayi, and Professor German Di Sciascio in 1990.

After 36 years, from the original meeting with one hundred delegates, GW-ICC has grown into a large conference with more than ten thousand participants, covering the Asia-Pacific area, but with global coverage. The congress has developed from a single discipline to a comprehensive academic programme which covers basics to clinical aspects of cardiovascular disease with multidisciplinary research; from being hosted by a single hospital to co-sponsorship by renowned Chinese and international societies and institutions; from surgery broadcast from a single hospital to more than ten Chinese and international transnational surgery demonstrations; from a traditional meeting format to full multimedia coverage. The development of online network meetings, multimedia interaction and digital conference management has allowed GW-ICC to become a truly international conference covering Chinese, Asian-Pacific and international research.

GW-ICC has led the development of cardiovascular medicine in China, supported the outcomes of the introduction and promotion of new concepts and technologies, strengthened and promoted international cooperation and exchanges and facilitated development of collaborations with the pharmaceutical industry.

We are proud to inform you that during the four-day meeting, there were 483 scientific sessions, 1897 presentations, and 24700 national and international experts, academician and professional from 58 countries and areas were invited to attend the congress.
