INVITATION
To the participants of the VX World Congress
of the International Cardiac Doppler Society
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!
I am very glad to welcome the participants of the XV World Congress of the International Cardiac Doppler Society at the Tyumen land! This is a great honor not only for the people of Tyumen Region but for all Russian people.
The problem of cardiovascular diseases remains issue of the day in every country of the world. That is why it is so important to join experience and achievements of the world medicine.
Work of thousands of people is aimed at solving urgent medical problems that seemed to be undecidable not so long ago. First of all it refers to the prevention and treatment of heart diseases – the sphere you are working in, dear participants of the Congress.
Taking part in the XV World ICDS Congress doctors and scientists will be able to study the latest achievements of modern cardiology, discuss urgent medical and social problems. I am sure that further on specialists will be able to apply knowledge and experience obtained at the Congress in their future practice.
I wish you fruitful and creative work, new discoveries and success!

Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are greatly honored to invite you to participate in the 15th World Congress of the International Cardiac Doppler Society in conjunction with Russian National Conference on Cardiac Resynchronization and Cardioversion Defibrillation, which will be held in Tyumen, Russia on 24-26 May, 2006.
This meeting represents an ongoing educational task that was started enthusiastically by the pioneers of Doppler ultrasound techniques nearly twenty years ago. The International Cardiac Doppler Society (ICDS) was founded in 1984. Since that time its goals remain unchanged and include: advancing the understanding of Doppler ultrasound techniques, facilitating the diffusion of Doppler applications into clinical practice in a wide range of cardiovascular disorders, stimulating new promising developments, and promoting fruitful contacts between scientists and clinicians from a variety of disciplines spanning the spectrum of cardiovascular ultrasound. Initially created at a small meeting in Florida, ICDS now includes enthusiastic members from all over the world.
Various approaches for management of specific lesions will be discussed from a practical perspective. And while attendees update and refine their practical knowledge, leading to better care for their patients, they will also enhance their understanding of the underlying physical and physiological principles that guide the applications of cardiovascular ultrasound. Significant emphasis will be placed on the most recent developments in echo-Doppler techniques. During this three-day meeting, productive discussions between attendees and faculty members will be developing in a warm, cordial and friendly atmosphere, which has been a consistent aspect of ICDS scientific meetings.
Tyumen, the gate of Siberia, is the capital of the oil and gas region. It includes a striking blend of modern buildings and ancient mansions and churches, which witnessed the very beginning of the great exploration of this rugged but fertile region. You will never forget its simple natural beauty, exotic Siberian spring and well-known Russian hospitality.
We do hope for your active participation in this meeting, which combines excellent scientific and exciting social programs.
Look forward to seeing you in Tyumen in May 2006!
Yours Sincerely,
