Welcome

On behalf of the organising committee of the SA HEART 2012 congress, it gives us great pleasure to invite
you to the 13th annual congress of the South African Heart Association to be held at Sun City from
19-22 July 2012.

Our theme of Structural Heart Disease gives ample opportunity for everybody involved with cardiac care
to participate. The few days of the congress will hopefully not only enrich your scientific knowledge, but
will afford you the opportunity to re-establish old acquaintances, and forge new friendships with others in
our profession.

Yours truly
Dr Adriaan Snyders
