Bangla Interventional Therapeutics (BIT), a platform for all Bangla speaking cardiologists around the world to enhance interventional (angiogram and angioplasty) cardiovascular education held its second conference in Kolkata recently, says a press release.
BIT is formed with the spirit of language movement for Bangla. After the first conference in Dhaka in 2011, the organisers arranged the second summit to increase the expertise and improvement of skill on interventional cardiology — the bedrock of modern cardiology. Significant number of cardiologists from Bangladesh congregated in the conference and shared their experiences and views to enrich interventional cardiology specially in this region.
Prof Dr Afzalur Rahman, Course Director of BIT said that new devices, new technique, new studies, and trials are changing our practice from time to time. This kind of meeting will allow us to learn better and increase our confidence.
Dr Rabin Chakraborty, another Course Director hoped that this congress will help confront the imposing challenge of cardiovascular diseases successfully, which already exact a heavy toll in the lives of our people.
