Due to the success and interest in the format and content the 2010 meeting the 2011 meeting has been arranged for 13th October 2011.
Myself and the scientific program team believe that there remains a requirement to have a yearly meeting dedicated to educate and involve all stakeholders (clinical scientists,
biomedical scientists, clinicians, representatives from the diagnostics industry, regulatory agencies) in the continuously evolving area of cardiac markers, their changing analytical
characteristics and their role in diagnosis, treatment and outcomes assessment. The Cardiac Marker Dialogues 2011 meeting will continue to discuss hot topics in the field.
