I am deeply honored to announce that our traditional scientific Meeting CardioLucca 2026, promoted by the Cardiology Division of the San Luca Hospital in Lucca, has reached its 20th edition. This prestigious milestone is a source of immense pride for all the healthcare professionals of our hospital and our Cardiology Department, marking two decades of shared growth and scientific dedication.

Over the years, this event has become a key cultural benchmark in cardiovascular research, thanks to the contribution of renowned experts and thought leaders. This year’s anniversary edition of CardioLucca 2026 offers a particularly compelling scientific program.

As clinical cardiologists, our focus remains on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of heart disease. Through our symposia and clinical insights, I hope to bridge the gap between the latest research and daily clinical practice. For Azienda Toscana Nordovest, this event reflects the growing esteem our Cardiology Division holds among patients, colleagues, and institutions alike.

I would like to thank everyone whose commitment will ensure the success of this special 20th meeting in the beautiful Lucca: the City of Walls, a place of art, history and a true cradle of modern cardiovascular science.

I sincerely hope you all feel like protagonists in this twenty-year journey.
I look forward to seeing you in Lucca!

Francesco Maria Bovenzi
President of CardioLucca 2026
